Say youre not interested in a school anymore but have already set up an interview date, it's okay to still withdraw your application right?
 
If you try to withdraw your application they send the dental mafia after you. Better change your address - they got some mean drills.

oh, not really...i don't think it's still "okay". They'll "dislike" you, so they'll put a "bad" mark on your overall app account so other schools can see. It works just like how bad credit works.

...:-D...on the bright side, if you can w/draw from a school...you'd be in an AwEsOmeLy GoOd shape. 👍 🙂 GL.
 
Okay, so in my position I did AADSAS before i did my DAT scores. I took a mock kaplan and did very poorly, so i assumed i wouldn't do well. However, i did well enough to score interviews, such as at Penn. Of course i am over joyed that i am getting interview invites, but i applied to A LOT of schools (11, in fear of not getting in). Is it okay with withdraw from a school? Or will they really leave a bad mark on my AADSAS/etc and make the schools that are interested in me not as interested? I do not want to take someone else's interview or potential applicant spot if i definitely know id rather go to the other schools who have interviewed me. Sorry for my whiny post...

I did the same thing and I will definitely be withdrawing from nearly half of the schools I applied to. I say withdraw and leave the spots open for others.
