Waitlist

[deleted945327]

If you get waitlisted, when’s the soonest you’ll hear back from the dental schools? Is every dental school different, or do they all let you know first week of January?

they pretty much only let you know when you get accepted, and that can happen any time until a week or so after school starts

I think it's reasonable to assume that waitlists will start moving in January when they know how many offers were accepted. Unfortunately, you may have to put a deposit down elsewhere in the meantime and possibly lose it if you get off the waitlist at the other school

Oh so if I’m waitlisted at a school, I can hear back even before January hits?

Got waitlisted at UCLA and sent a letter of intent today so fingers crossed I’ll get a class seat. I know I should be happy I have offers but I really want to go to this school

you can, but it's not likely...

Moral of the story, be grateful and attend all interviews until after receiving an acceptance.
