VCU School of Dentistry Class of 2029 Interview/Acceptance Thread

not everyone will accept the offer on the 13th...
Yeah I understand that, but I was confused because it seemed like ALL interviewees who weren’t offered an acceptance would be offered a waitlist invite, so no rejections. I asked for some clarification and this was the response I got.

“There will be no rejection emails sent until most seats are filled.
These will likely be sent out in waves because of our large applicant pool.”

I understand not everyone will accept an offer, but it also seems a bit strange that they aren’t rejecting anyone who interviewed. It makes the “waitlist” feel less like you are actually on the waitlist.

I received a waitlist notification at 8:21 am also. It said the waitlist is selective so I don’t believe that everyone who interviewed is placed on the waitlist as mentioned above.
 
Hi, my application has been submitted on September 11. I paid the application fee on September 12. The DAT score has been submitted on September 13 even though the recommendation letter has been submitted on September 29. The submit date on the application checklist site is changed to january 8th. I haven’t received any interview. I haven’t heard anything back what could be my stats. Is there any one who experienced the same.

I also heard that the students are saying the scrub color is going to be maroon🤮 going to be absolutely tragic if that is the case. Wouldn’t mind green
 
Yeah the maroon is not a good loook. Either a navy or a green would be good. A D1 did say they might be doing a 5 year color rotation but those are just talks not concrete.
 
Does anyone know when they're likely to send out acceptances? Like this week or next week? Also, does anyone know how their waitlist movement is like is it ranked or unranked and if its small or big? Hope everyone luck!

yea i see that now. I was huffing hopium lol. Hopefully we hear some more towards the middle of the month
 
I was accepted yesterday (2/6) via email off of the waitlist! I am in state and interviewed at the end of September.
Does that mean those who were on the waitlist since december and didn't hear back are likely rejected?
 
Does anyone know if VCU will be sending out acceptances tomorrow morning, or have they already sent out all of their February acceptances?

Also would love to know how the waitlist works! How many people do we think are in it, and is it chronological or ranked? I am IS and interviewed Oct. 4th and was waitlisted Dec. 20th.
 
Just received this update:

Thank you for applying to the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry! Each year we receive an increasing number of qualified applicants to our program. After carefully reviewing your application, the admissions committee regretfully is unable to offer you admission in the incoming class. Again, thank you for your time and effort in applying. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Hadn't heard back since I submitted so I wasn't surprised lol. Thankfully I have been accepted at another school, but good luck to everyone!! Wishing you all the best!!
 
Does anyone know when the next wave of acceptances is and will this wave mostly consist of waitlisted students? I tried calling the office but I get sent straight to voicemail.
 
Does anyone know how many spots are left available?
They’re “full” as far as I know, with spots opening up as people who are currently holding a spot at VCU decide to commit to other schools they’ve gotten in to.

They’re also saying they decided who would be admitted to the D.5 program during interviews? I’m not sure how that works.
