Has anyone received a supplemental?

 

[futuredentist2029]

received a supplemental application today. Does that mean a guaranteed interview invitation? or they send secondary application to all applicants?

I'd say nothing is a guarantee, just do your best on the supplemental and hope for the best.

Just got the supplemental app today, is it selective?

Just got the supplemental app today, is it selective?

Congrats!!!
Yes! I talked with their admissions office and they said they'll send supplemental applications only to people they're interested to interview with. By the way, may I ask for your stats and when you applied?

Thank you so much for getting back to me!! I really really appreciate you passing along that info! But I applied June 10th and just received an update that my app was complete on Sept 17th, got the secondary Sept 18th. I have a 3.7 cGPA, 3.6 sGPA, 19 AA, 22 PAT, nothing below a 17 and i am OOS (PA).

No problem!!! The reason they just sent out the email saying your application is complete is due to a change in staff, from what I was told. They also mentioned that my application was completed well before I received the email on the 17th. So, don't worry, and good luck! Also, their admissions team is very kind, so feel free to call them if you have any questions or need clarification.

Current D1 here at WVU. Take a deep breath and relax. It’s hard to do, trust me I know. Don’t focus on stats, it way, way more than that. Focus on what you can bring to the class that no one else can. What makes you different than everyone else applying? Don’t focus on how late you get supplemental/interviews either. We literally had someone get accepted within two weeks of our start date. I applied to two schools so don’t focus on how many interviews someone else got. Be yourself, take in the experience, and remember to keep calm.
