Does UB look at applicants as holistically as they say they do? I’m a NYS resident and I literally live 10 minutes from UB, so obviously UB is one of my top choices.
I have yet to hear back from them, I was placed on “continuing review” on November 24th and haven’t heard back since. I have a 3.75 gpa, 3.67 sgpa, and 19 DAT. My gpa is well over their average, and my DAT score is well within their average.
I also have experience working in the healthcare field as a certified nursing assistant, 2 years of undergrad research experience, 2 dental internships, 600+ volunteer hours and over 200 shadowing hours.
I received an interview earlier this cycle from the University of Pittsburgh which is a much harder school to get into compared to UB (because of their higher average stats) so I don’t understand why I have heard absolutely nothing from UB in the last 3 months.
I applied on June 16th; however, I couldn’t retake my DAT until September, and my scores were not verified until October 1st. I know that may be considered late and could be a reason why I haven’t heard back.
I sent them a letter of interest a few weeks ago and still have heard nothing. Does anyone have any advice?
