Hello!
It really depends on the course and on the professor. Most exams have not been cumulative though. I was really happy about the curriculum at WesternU. We were definitely given enough time to study for each exam and enough review sessions were given to make each exam fair.
Hello!
wow great! is the curriculum based on PBL ? or is it normal lectures (power points) ?
overall, do you think that WesternU's curriculum is slightly easier/ more laid-back that other dental schools ?

Anyone know what percentage of interviewed students are accepted?

congrats! what number did they call from? did you get a email as well?
Hi everyone! I am from New England and honestly have no idea where to even start when it comes to looking for housing near Western. Is there any current student, alumni, or fellow applicant that can steer me in the right direction? I know they have campus living options. I don't know anything about living in CA, what a fair rent expense looks like, etc. I am a rather low maintanence person and would look for the cheapest option possible.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
Hello! I definitely had a good time with the curriculum. No PBL but it is a hybrid learning system for sim lab and lecture based for didactic courses. What this means is we read about certain things prior to going into sim lab and do "content reinforcements" where we practice the actual skills after a short run down of what we read. I wouldn't say it's easier or laid back than other schools. I would say it has its challenges just like any other school. I hope this helps!
Hi! It's expensive to live alone so you may want to find a roommate. WesternU has a roommate finder through this website. You can also look into various housing options listed on the same website if you absolutely do not want to live with someone else.
Congratulations! Were you interviewed on Jan 15th or Waitlisted on dec 15th?

D
deleted994703
thank you. how were you able to reach them?
Does that mean they are sending out invites the first week of feb or conducting interviews first week of feb?
For anyone still wondering, I actually just received a response from them stating that feb 5th is their last interview day for this cycle and invites for that are still being sent out. Hope that helps!

Really? When I called the admissions counselor ~2 weeks ago, she said they're having 2 more interview days on Feb 5th & Feb 15...maybe something changed? That's strange
Last edited:
She only mentioned the 5th when she emailed me so Im sure not sure whats going on. It would be great if the 15th was open as well.
I have already got this email literally 5 times lol
Yea I've also gotten this like 5 times! At this point, I'm just taking it as a soft rejection considering how late it is in the cycle. But you never know!
Hey everyone. I had a live chat with one of the admissions people and this is what he said about interviews. "Sorry, I just received a response, Feb 5th will be the last Interview Day for this cycle." 🙁
Did he say if they are done sending out invites for that date?
tbh i didn't ask him that nor did this other person answer me when i asked something similar to that, but i'm assuming they are just because it's next friday
I actually just received an email saying invites can be sent up until the night before the interview from my advisor. At this point, not sure what to believe anymore but I’m keeping hope alive

so disappointed with this cycle...
i guess that's some good news, but i'm not really going to expect anything honestly lol
do they send out rejections formally? because i've gotten this email a few times too
I only received that email two times and the last time I received it was back in December. Then it’s been radio silence, is that mean it’s soft rejection for me? 😢
I got this email again yesterday. I am taking it as a soft rejection at this point as well.

I feel like even tho admissions said they will take covid into consideration, they never really did. A couple of my schools didn't accept virtual shadowing.

deleted994703
right!!! people who had to take their test late were not taken into consideration at all unless you had a 4.0 30
dat. the seats are all almost full...

I agree, not every school took covid into consideration. But, I believe that WesternU takes more into consideration. Honestly, I thought about not applying this cycle because of how late I took my dat (October). I knew that I was cutting my chances more than in half by applying so late. Especially given how small WesternU’s class is.

i sent a letter of interest and never heard from them... should i email them again? my advisor is very unresponsive, anyone else i can email??
