What's wrong with my application? Did the schools skip me?

Hi.
I applied during late august but everything was set by mid-late september due to one letter of recommendation being a bit late.
I received emails acknowledging the completion of my application and undergoing review by admissions comittee emails during mid-September.
The latest mail-out date was Sep. 23. I also submitted 4th letter of recommendation on the 30th.

At this moment, all of the status says either received/complete or received/under review but I have not heard anything from them since. In addition, I applied to LECOM but this school is not even listed on my AADSAS, and UNE is listed as complete as of Sept 14 but I have not heard back anything from these two schools, not even about secondary app fee. I feel like the schools are ignoring my app. I emailed UNE 2 weeks ago but they did not even bother to reply! Do you have any idea what might be going on? Would it be a good idea to call the dental schools at this point?
I'd appreciate your help and input.
 
1. Relax.
2. People who applied in June and July are still waiting as well.
3. The Portal status is not a good indicator of anything.
4. LECOM and UNE are quick to second secondaries. You should follow-up to see if there were any issues.
 
I applied around the same time you did and did not hear back from LECOM about the secondary fee either and it doesn't show up on my portal. I didn't apply to UNE. We applied relatively late so maybe that's why it's taking longer to hear back from some schools.

That's really weird about UNE, I added that school super late. I added it on 9/25 and I got the supplemental on 9/26. But, on AADSAS it says that the supplemental for UNE is by invite only. I know people who have called UNE, but they just say that the person's app is under continuing review and they'll be given a supplemental by invite if UNE is interested. But, I only speak for UNE.

You are correct. It seems that there is either a computer generated program that has some algorithm that knows what to look for and shoots supplementals within an hour and the rest get "human" invites. I think someone mentioned they added UNE on a Saturday and got a supplemental invite on a Sunday. Don't quote me on that, but that to me shows either a hardworking admissions counselor or a computer generated invite. I can't really say because I don't work there.

That's quite possibly true! However, the only thing I have to critique that is some people with pretty decent stats never received a supplemental. Someone PM'd me and asked what my stats were that I got one and then I asked them there's and they were .2 below my GPA's and never received a supplemental. I also thought what you did but then was like maybe it isn't that automatic when that person PM'd me.
 
Lol RELAX. My mail out date is June 24th (3 months before you), and my last interview invite was in August...
