Does anyone know what makes dental school put you in an alternate list even though you got an interview early ?
 
B/c some late interviewers are more competitive and therefore gets chosen over people that interview earlier...sucks I know...I got waitlisted at Louisville and Penn. 🙄

I would like to know the answer to that question. I had an interview in November and I am still waiting for their reply.
 
the answer boils down to you sucking less than people who got rejected, but sucking more than people who got a seat.



this was stated entirely in jest 🙂
That is a funny way to say it, but I guess it is true.🙄
 
I interviewed on the very first day of interviews at San Antonio and I am on the waitlist right now. But I interviewed on the first day of interviews at Houston and was accepted on Nov. 30. It does not make sense at all.
 
I think that means that one liked you more than the other, each school has its own criteria and they have different preferences, so I guess you matched with one more than the other,,,
