Has anyone recieved a confirmation that UTSD has gotten your application? Only Texas school so far that hasn't sent me anything. (Submitted on 05/19)

I got an email confirmation that my application was received. I submitted end of June.

Where are you guys doing the secondary application? Did u receive an email from them after submitting the TMDSAS one? Or how can I access it? I'm new to applying and submitted my application 8/9. I'm anxious as I dont know what to do next. If I should be waiting or not. Am I supposed to foward my ADA score to the school aswell? Or does it automatically post to the app? I'm also a Texas resident.

only TAMCOD has a secondary on their website. you have to access it by yourself through the website. the other tx schools don’t have secondaries. you’ll get a confirmation email from the schools once your application has been verified. it takes about a month for TMDSAS.

Looks like another round of interviews were sent out. Unless they sent out interview invites last Thursday, it seems like every other Thursday is when interview invites go out.

Have any more interviews been sent out recently?

Feels like its been fairly quiet all around, but all schools are gonna send more out soon this month though

 

[MrMuffins]

Have any more interviews been sent out recently?

I don't know whether the schools are barely sending out any invitations or people are just not updating the threads at all, but all Texas schools have been dead silent.

Trust me, everyone's dying to hear something from them. Hopefully we'll see more invitations this month...

 

[jessss212]

Hi all,
Congratulations to everyone who has been admitted and to those who are continuing their interviews! I am one of the Class of 2027 officers and wanted to provide the official link to the Class of 2028 Facebook Group: UTSD Houston Class of 2028
Upon joining, you'll be asked to DM a screenshot of your acceptance to one of the officers to be approved into the Facebook Group. Thanks everyone!

[Jacobdentist]

how do you know?

Someone said they heard back from utsd

 

[Xinbra]

how do you know?

I am currently in the CO2028 GroupMe and recently a huge wave of new people joined. I can't guarantee this is that "2nd wave" but it's just some information I thought you might find useful.

 

[pre-dentalgal]

[ddshopeful07]

based on last years thread, do y'all think we will hear back this week?

 

[desperatedental]

I did not interview and did not receive a rejection email. Does that mean I am still being considered for an interview? Is anyone else in this position?

I know some schools don’t send rejections letter until and even after dental school starts. So you can ask by sending an email.

[coconutcreampie]

Are they sending more out this week? Or is it a weekly/bi-weekly thing?

They are definitely sending out more offers! I'm not sure when they are though since this is my first cycle applying, but it seems like maybe end of Feb/early March there will be more acceptances looking at last year's thread!

 

[pre-dentalgal]

Has this school sent emails for waitlist? or just acceptances/rejections

 

[ddshopeful07]

Has this school sent emails for waitlist? or just acceptances/rejections

Not to my knowledge. It may just be acceptances/rejections at the moment

 

[pre-dentalgal]

have people also received rejection emails after interviews?

 

[ddshopeful07]

Has Anybody heard anything?

Nothing :/ getting very worried tbh but I think we just need to be patient. Maybe there will be another wave next week 🤞🏼

 

[D_B.]

Has anyone heard back after the 6th?

 

[ddshopeful07]

Hi just wondering if anyone has heard anything? Haven’t seen anyone get in since like early feb

 

[Ali Harith]

does anyone know how full the class is?

 

[Xinbra]

does anyone know how full the class is?

The CO2028 Facebook group is at around 84 people (about 8 are D1 students, so ~76 upcoming matriculants).

No new people have joined for about 2 weeks so I'm assuming the class is mostly settled. Obviously the other 30 or so probably didn't join the group.
