And all the interview invites till 1st March are given out....
And ppl are saying its the last date....but if seats are left empty they will call more ppl in march

Can you share your stats please!! I just want to know if they are very strict with the TOEFL score, I mean if some one with less than 100 in TOEFL can get into BU or not

HI, my stats 92/3.51/101. if the TOEFL scores are 99 or 98 i think that's OK but to be on safe side the three digit figure is always better.

hey if u still waiting for an interview call.....................then getting that is tough as all interviews are given out....
 
so is it wise for me to start prep for part 2 and re apply?

hi guys, just in sake of the fact that i used to use this forum a lot, here is my contribution;
yes, i got accepted and based on facebook page they have already accepted 43 out of 75 spots. i am a reapplicant my TOEFL(toefle!) score was 98 and i had 88NBDE last year and added part 2 into my resume this year, which was 76 (not significant, but pass) i studied for that just 23 days 10 hours a days, so it's possible and immediately after i got all my rejections last year started shadowing in an office in my region, i got my interview email in Oct for Dec, so i improved my TOEFL(toefle!) to 105, and my GPA is 3.01. i wait listed in Minnesota and accepted in Boston and Buffalo, and yes i am going to Boston.
stop whining keep improving your resume and think this is the end of this year if miracle happens and they start sending more interview good for you and if it doesn't make sure this year you apply as early as you can with the most improvement as you could possibly make. Good Luck

Nobody knows about that...nothing is fixed..you might hear from them anytime after you give interview...
And there might be a possibility that all the people with acceptance are not on a busdm group...
but lets all think positive and wait!!!
good luck!!

See I got accepemtance on next Friday after my interview not the same week as my interview. A fren of mine got after 2 weeks and another one after 3 weeks .so it's variable but be in touch with ppl from ur interview date ..and no one can say how many seats are left by just looking at fb page...some ppl may not have joined the group....so I would advice is to stop speculating and stay positive...every interviewed candidate is treated equally whether in nov or march...stay positive

I totally agree with you impactedmind.....
 
Hi,
I have got my non acceptance letter from BU today. I was interviewed on october last year. Anyone else in the same situation, kindly lemme know. Can someone throw light on this- as I have been applying for four years consecutively to Bu. Just last year, I got interview, but again no use. Does it mean that I am not eligible for the advanced standing this year, and can I apply next year. People, who have been in the same situation, please let me know.

Sorry about that but OMG 4 years applying and no luck!! whats your stats? and what did they tell you the reason for rejections?
 
Hey guys, there are no seats available now. The only way to get in is if someone leavs the spot. Has this happened in the past. Do people leave their seats? How can we know if there is seat available. Please post if you guys know if someone is dropping or deferring for another year.. Please keep updated.

hey as the interview deadline is over,are ppl geting rejections letter,i dint get any till yet.
 
is there any chance that boston will send out interview invitations out?
 
Is there any information on availability of the seats guys..????
 
I met Mr. Kahan around 10 days back and he said that they are still filling up the class..and said that until you receive rejection there is a chance so keep your hopes up.
And then I got an email after 2 days that I am in the waiting list..I take it as a kind of rejection..!!
 
rejected from boston

The Committee was impressed with your dedication to the field of dentistry, and with your desire to further your professional goals. However, after careful consideration the Committee cannot offer you a seat in the Advanced Standing Class of 2014. The number of applicants far exceeds our capacity.
this is thr reason. are ppl getin the same reasons or different?

Hi, did anyone receive a rejection/non-accept email recently?

Thanks

hi me too the same response...., what a tough competition... here are my stats:
86(part 1),96(toefl) and 3.53 (gpa). Not even called for an interview. It sucks to prepare for part 2 in this situation . But there is no way to gain by sitting idle. So, preparing for part 2 and toefl to aim at 100.:smuggrin:
