Waiting until December is Torture

I'm completely pulling this number out of my ass but I think the general consensus is that about 2/3 of the seats are filled by pre-Dec interviews.

Yea that's sounding about right for a few of the schools I've spoken to. The only school that differed was LECOM--they have 100 seats and will be sending out 100 acceptances on that day to "try" to fill up the entire class on day 1. Obviously, some people will deny the acceptance, so they'll send out the remaining seats at a later date.

The other schools I spoke to said they were gonna send out acceptances for either 50-75% of their seats. So it all just depends on the school and what they think is best.

Hopefully I'll get in on Dec. 3rd though to my top choices!

Getting closer...Thanksgiving break is going to make this fly. I want to get excited...But I don't!


I want the fall to be a broken arm, not a splat.

I feel you. Normally I am really laid back....but these days All I can do is stress about this.

At least Thanksgiving will make it go by faster hopefully. I'm just afraid I won't hear anything until after Dec. 3rd, and then that would be even more waiting.

[FaithBuild18]

I think I fracked up my last interview. ****e. I'm scared of Dec. 3rd now. 🙁

These past few weeks has been the most relaxing all semester. No more interviews. No more booking flights, hotels, and rental cars. No pre-interview stress. No thinking up interview answers. No AADSAS application hassles. Very little rummaging memories post-interview after realizing there's not much you can do now. Reminding yourself of your limited-temporospatial-existential futility helps too.

I think today's xkcd post was quite appropriate:

How much would you guys pay for the remote from Click (the movie)?

That movie was so depressing (or maybe it was just my 15 year-old self's interpretation of the movie)! I deffinitely wouldn't want to fast forward things like this, otherwise we would die sad, lonely, and fast deaths.

lol Is it bad I have had this exact thought? I've actually contemplated it back and forth with the pros and cons... come on DECEMBER! 🙂

What difference does the opposite make when you're dead?

Last night I dreamt it was 12/3. Got a call from my dream school, but they had accidentally called me instead of someone else.

You know what they say about dreams, if you dream it the opposite will happen 😉

Dude, I dreamed it was 12/3 last night too!! It was weird, I had to do a second interview at my top choice and there were tons of dental students in the same room who were going to put my acceptance up to a vote. Then it ended, lol.

That's not a dream man! That's real! I was there too.

 

[bluesolic]

I dreamed too. I got email from my top choice school and I opened the email and I tried to read it but I couldnt read what they said. I tried and tried to read it and soon I realized oh this is probably dream and I really really tried to read it before I woke up and I woke up without knowing what it said. It was weird dream.. Hooo.. 12/3 is very soon and time goes pretty fast then I expected but still slow. This experience is very new and pretty exciting and also nervous. I have never had a experience like this year.

It looks like you got yourself a conundrum. I say plan optimistically. 😀

What t's me off is that they KNOW this is the week before finals for almost everyone. Therefore it's a loss-lose situation regardless- either we find out we suck and need to drown our face in our books again or we want to celebrate all week drowning our face in booze. Anyone agree?

yes. the paranoid part of me thinks that this was purposely made so we fail our classes and end up making dental school as a do or die deal-thus undergraduate degree not required for D-school. breaking our spirits and rendering us self conscious about our abilities before we even set foot into the dept inquiring ordeal. The sane part of me believes this was done to allow applicants decide wisely on schools and not be dream struck by the first school that accepts.

 

[azimmer]

I just might have a mental break down checking my email on the 3rd... Just saying. I don't know how y'all are managing this stress, but I can't believe we are at the final countdown..... one week.

Well put! I keep guessing as to what the answer will be! Ugh, I just need to know!

Cyber Monday is definitely helping. I've been boot-shopping for the past hour and a half ^.^

Biochemistry exam on friday to keep me preoccupied, theoretically at least.

 

[kies89]

just wondering, on december 1st, all the decisions are going to be made? rejection and acceptance?
Until when do schools send interview invites?? before dec?

the possible answers are : accepted/ waitlisted/ rejected/ no response

and for your last question, it depends for each school
