It’s still early to receive a bunch of invites for interviews. Remember pre-december interviews alone will be sent out anytime from now until dec 15th. I received some interviews in sept, oct, nov, and jan so you never know when you’ll get one. Also remember this cycle is two weeks behind the standard cycle.

Misc Info/Things not stated elsewhere:
I know my stats are lackluster. I finished about 6 credits in the summer at my graduate program ( MS) and got a 4.0. I will have 21 credits by the time fall ends. Should I be concerned about not hearing back? Also want to add that I noticed a mistake on my app where I marked a volunteer experience as also receiving academic credit. Also for a volunteer experience I put my expected completed hours instead of current and noticed this after not thinking that only the current ones were needed. I don’t know if this messed me up but it seems like it was a big mistake and I’m just freaking out. Will there be a chance for me to get accepted?I’ve seen people w lower stats receive interviews and feel discouraged.

Oh I agree with above. Schools will not evaluate your gpas in this way. Edit your post to include your 4 separate gpas and then I can respond more definitively.

Made the edit! Thank you both!

What is your RC score?

22 I’ll add that in

I'm surprised you didn't get an interview invite from NSU. I think you have a more competitive app than me (more shadowing hours, better GPA), but I still got a first round interview from them.

I didn't get an interview invite (yet) from 3 schools, and some of the people who did have lower stats than me.

I guess we just have to wait longer.

Yea I was confused too. I did take some time in my application to explain personal issues during undergrad that affect my grades (specifically C’s) not sure if that steered them away from handling the rigor of dental school?

 

[S_Diamond_DDS]

Yes, you stand a good chance.

Because it is September 2nd and you haven't heard anything, I don't think you'll hear back form anyone.. it's pretty late in the cycle and I doubt there are any seats left
