I got an email that they received my application a week or two ago. I applied through AADSAS though.

Thank you for the heads-up. I still have not heard anything yet. When did you submit the AADSAS application?

I too submitted through TMDSAS and haven't heard anything. Only school which hasn't gotten back to me. Oh well, I'm trusting the process, I suppose. Hopefully in a month or so I get an interview invite.

Thank you! So I ended up finding a way to attend in person so I had to re-email the admissions committee. Also, for everyone their first virtual date is available in October.

Is the school sending out interview invitations every week?

 

[studentdoctor22]

I submitted the complete tMDSAS, recommendation letters, and DAT score on may 18 and I just now received an email @ 4 pm CST saying that my application is completed. Is this normal? When did you all receive this email? Is this a bad or good sign?

I got an email on 8/1 that they received my application, but today around 1600 CDT (8/17) they said they considered my application complete. Looks to be completely normal.

During my interview with them in September, there were candidates from Indiana and Utah.

 

[Toothbrush21]

Did anyone hear back from them recently?

 

[dentalstud22]

Does anyone have information on what the interviews are like here? Like who interviews you and are the interviews opened or closed? Any links to this information would also be helpful. Thanks!

Did they have many interview dates available to pick from or did they give you only that option?

 

[k_torr_dz]

They had two available options, another one for the following week on Thursday.

 

[yorta]

Has anyone received good news?

 

[yorta]

I saw people said they were admitted at 12:01am last year. Does it mean they received the emails at 12:01am or the email was marked as sent at 12:01am but they received the email a bit later than that?

 

[yorta]

Anyone still waiting for the email? Have they sent out them yet?

 

[A_Local_Dude]

I saw some people posted on reddit that they got accepted at 12:01

 

[yorta]

So sad....

I saw some people posted on reddit that they got accepted at 12:01

Congrats to all who are accepted! So sad for myself though. Do you know how many batches of acceptance they usually send out and how often?

 

[MrMuffins]

When do Texas dental schools send out their last interview invites? If I haven't heard back yet, is it basically hopeless?

 

[Chief's Pineapple]

When do Texas dental schools send out their last interview invites? If I haven't heard back yet, is it basically hopeless?

All the way up to late January, according to them. If the next six weeks or so if you still haven't heard anything, then...

Don't worry, I'm in the same boat.

I am an incoming student in the utsd class of 27! I toured housing options around the dental school this week and am looking to buy a 2 bed townhome. Currently I am really interested in Fontainbleau condos right across from the dental school. Does anyone know anything about this complex and its reputation? Additionally, does anyone have any recommendations for other 2 bedroom townhomes available to buy near the dental school? Thank you!!!!!
