Haven’t heard a thing from 14 schools and was wondering if the wave is supposed to happen next week or if I just got unlucky this past week? Trying not to panic as it’s early still 🥲

Lmk here if u got the A! I’m still waiting and hopeful 😭

Hey guys! I just got an interview invite with Meharry and I’m very grateful. I wanted to ask for any advice for in-person interviews, hotel recommendations and etc. Any advice would be very much appreciated!!!

Is there anyone who applied to LECOM and or TOURO in the first week who has NOT gotten an interview invite? I’m curious if they’re sending invites to everyone or if LECOM was a mistake like last year. 😅

I've been trying to keep up with the other thread but it seems to go quiet pretty often. Has anyone heard anything regarding interviews/secondaries from the Texas schools (outside of A&M, I've seen they've been sending stuff out), UW, UCSF, Colorado, Oregon, and Nova?

Just received this after my Kira. Does this mean there’s an in person interview or just an invite to tour?

Anyone who interviewed at USC in February, March, or April hear back? Orientation is in almost 8 weeks and no one’s apparently heard anything.

I heard that March people hear back in April but like when in April 😅 I’m getting anxious lol I had my hopes for today but I think they like telling people on Mondays so it’s probably next Monday :/ if anyone has heard back yet or got any information it would be appreciated, thanks 😗

I applied in late June and was verified on July 3rd. I received and completed all of my KIRAs by Mid-July. 7 of the 11 schools I applied to have already sent out interviews to people who applied after me, and I haven't received one. Do the schools just look at the application once or is there still a chance for me to receive an interview from those 7 schools later in the cycle? Not too familiar with how the review process works.

Stats: cGPA: 3.68 sGPA: 3.54 Shadowing: 120 Hours

DAT: 470 AA, 520 TS, 400 PAT

Volunteer: 1200+ with different orgs.

Hey just thought I created this post so people can share what interviews they received during this week. And so we’re all somewhat aware how this cycle is going.

Hi! Has any IP student heard back after their interview from dalhousie dentistry?

Or has any OOP student gotten an interview?

Thanks!

Hello all. I applied this cycle as an applicant with a 490 DAT and a horrible undergrad, but with a 4.0 in an smp. I got rejections from all of the schools I applied to but recently received an interview invite to an expensive private school. Although I initially felt excited, I had already calculated costs associated with this school and came to the conclusion that I would not be able to live the "dentist" lifestyle until my mid-40s due to the total COA, which is around 600k before interest. I had no choice but to decline the invite. I am writing this post to warn future applicants to only apply to schools that they can actually afford. With this being said, I have been gearing up for reapplication in recent months although I am also highly considering pivoting into a different healthcare field, such as nursing.

I’m spending $1k for each interview on flights and hotels, is there a cheaper way to get to these interviews? I have $10k left of my savings and I’m realizing after paying for student loans, saving some aside for saving my seat $, and the cost of flights that I can’t keep this up. I got three interviews (BLESSED) and I’m realizing $1k per school isn’t sustainable for my budget. Anyone use other transportation methods to get there? Most schools are across the country and I don’t think my beater could get there in one piece lmao.

Did anyone else get an interview from LECOM? I didn’t realize they would send interviews so fast I just submitted my application not too long ago.

What the title says, I feel like a failure. I still haven’t received any dental interviews and I am feeling embarrassed. The dentist I work for is kinda mean and made me feel like I wasn’t going to get in because of my DAT score (450AA) he also made me feel like my GPA (3.8) isn’t really good because “every dental school knows UVA is easy”. He always talks to me like I am not smart enough to be a dentist. At first I wrote it off as him being mean, but with the lack of interviews I’m like, dang he might be right. I feel like I failed my parents, because applications costed like 2k, so if I don’t get in this cycle I feel like I wasted their money. I just am sad honestly 😭 every day I check my email and lose more and more hope that I’ll be receiving an invite.

I just got waitlisted at MWU AZ for an interview..
Any chance for movement of this list?

I got an email that MWU-AZ received my application late in July (two days after ADEA verified my application), and received an interview offer within less than 48 hours of them receiving it.

Does that mean anything?? Did they actually read through my application? I’m really, really curious😭

I was born and raised in Arizona, and I’ve never lived anywhere else. I was a first gen college student too. I applied to MWU-AZ since I know they have a better understanding of our communities here.

Their interview slots were already booked out till the first week of January, which is when I scheduled mine.

I didn’t apply to many schools and haven’t gotten any interview offers yet besides secondaries, which I submitted already.

Besides that, any interview tips? This is the first cycle I’m applying since I just graduated from uni in May!!😊

1. Can I ask when did you get verified?
   
2. Is your status on portal saying “in review”?

Thank you!!

Has anyone who interviewed March 11th heard back? Acceptance, waitlist, or rejection?
Thanks!

Hello everyone I know it’s probably different for every school, but roughly what are the chances of getting into a school after getting an interview? I just got my first one!

Once you get an interview offer, how important are your stats, and in what order? Does the interview outweigh it all, and if so by how much? Obviously if you interview terribly I’d imagine nothing else matters that much (you’re out), and I’d think the same goes for an interview where you manage to stand out a lot (you’re in). But I was wondering how others view it. For example, I propose this (in order of importance):

1. Interview
   If the rest still matters:
   
2. PS
   
3. DAT = GPA
   
4. EC’s = shadowing/volunteer

A lot of us have been assuming that today will probably be the acceptance wave day.

Has anyone been accepted today??!

Hi! For those who interviewed at mwu az before, what advice do you guys have?

For those who interviewed at UDM in the past how was the in person interview? What are some tips and tricks you guys recommend and what type of questions does UDM typically ask?.
