Do invitations go on a rolling basis? I have got my payment confirmation on Aug 20- and haven't heard anything about the interview yet:( Is there any particular order when they send out interviews?
 
Has anyone else's application been "Received/Under Review" for a couple of weeks? I have paid the fee and everything else has been received, so I just don't understand why it hasn't been completed yet.

Yes, from my understanding it’s on a rolling basis. It’s still very early on in the cycle, as schools are still probably finalizing the incoming class and other logistics. I applied at the beginning of July and received payment confirmation shortly after and still haven’t heard back from them. So I’m assuming the admissions committee is still reviewing the early applicants and making their way down the list! So don’t worry!!

Yep. I’ve been in that state for about a month and a half now (lol). I wouldn’t worry too much about it! It’s still very early on in the cycle. Best of luck!

Did you do a post bacc program?
 
Has anybody gotten a response about a virtual interview time? I received an email that my virtual interview request was received, but nothing after that.

I emailed them, and they said that they are still working to to confirm the virtual interview date :/
 
Does this school have a limit on their DAT score?

I was told in June that their average was 21 and to be considered a competitive applicant, we should aim for an average close to that. Hope that helps!

Hey guys, a family and cosmetic dental practice in Richmond Virginia is looking to hire a dental assistant for their PAID dental intern position. The position is perfect for those in there gap year looking for some experience before they start dental school. I thought I would send this message into here. So, if there are any pre-dental students looking for exposure during their gap year email [email protected] for more information.

For anyone who has already been interviewed, has your AADSAS status changed from "Invited for Interview" to anything else?

Have any in-state Virginian residents been invited to interview at VCU? I've only seen OOS invites and wondering if they are prioritizing them first?
