I know Western is already sending interview invites for post December but do they also continue sending invites in January? I applied late and am hoping to hear from them 🥲

If we go by previous years, I would assume so. They may send more invites as other interviewees get accepted in December and decline their interviews.

 

[powerplay1938]

Any recent interview invites? Did anybody receive an email update about a scholarship opportunity? If so have you interviewed yet or not interviewed?

I got that email but did not interview. Did you get it too? I really want an interview from western ):

Yes but I’m assuming they had to have looked at our applications to come to this conclusion on our eligibility correct?

I received the email update and have not yet interviewed, though I was invited for an interview. I heard they sent the email to everyone who applied to any of the WesternU health professional schools, but I don’t know for sure if that’s true or just heresay. Not sure if there have been more invites though I got one in late November.

 

[futuredentist-98]

Anything so far anyone

 

[TritonDent]

Nothing so far

Thank you! Can't wait to share the pleasure with my friends

 

[futuredentist-98]

Are they done calling for the day? The forums and reddit doesnt show high volume did they not accept a high volume of people?

 

[Niki_]

I got the call but did not get an Email yet in my inbox. Anyone else?

No email as well but my portal is updated!

 

[ivmich]

Hey guys! I heard back and got accepted to WesternU last friday!! Looking to reach out and find people who did as well and free to answer any questions if anyone might have them 🙂

 

[ivmich]

My theory is that there's a lot of people sitting on multiple offers that applied to WesternU as a "safety" lol. Just the vibe I got from my interview day, talked to people that scored crazy high on the DAT thinking they were above Western.

[Predent133]

[TheFutureDentist773]

Just got offered to be placed on the alternate list but I’m very confused because I never got an interview invitation. Was wondering if was by mistake?

Same, just received that and never interviewed with them. I don’t know if they made a mistake or sent it to qualified applicants.

On 1/10 they said wait about a month to hear back. I guess they are making decisions after the last interview date.
