[Pralk Nekorf]

So I read on previous threads that they send out acceptances from the alternate list every other Friday... What's the chance they send some tomorrow??

I called them last week and they said nobody is going to be in office until Jan bc Christmas break. So very unlikely they will make decision this week tbh

 

[melad916afg]

I just declined my offer. Good luck to everyone who is on the waiting list!

interviewed but not accepted yet

Accepted!

Do you guys mind sharing your stats? Thank you

 

[moisterine]

I paid my deposit on the 14th but never received a confirmation email. They also never replied to my email asking about it. It's getting close to the deadline so I'm getting a little nervous. Anyone else in the same boat?

 

[Nana_]

Same. Paid on Dec 15 and the tracking shows they received it. Emailed them too and never got any response. I think they are on vacation.

[SilverSurfer9]

Anyone receive a mailed letter of acceptance yet?

 

[futuredds!!!]

Anyone have any idea on when the next acceptances will be sent out?

 

[Futuredentist001]

Anyone with the email that says alternate list accepted_class of 2025? I'm assuming they made a mistake on the class of 2025.

 

[lkh052095]

The waitlist email said they gave out the maximum number of acceptances. Not sure if they accounted for the post-dec interviews.

I’m having my interview on Jan 21st
Sobbing

[chubbybunny79]

Is the tuition posted on the website accurate or has it not been updated yet?

 

[Jlue23]

My application wasn't confirmed to be completed until late October. Is it going to be hard to receive an interview invite?

 

[Boychi]

I had my interview on 12/17. Haven’t heard back yet

same here. What's our chance?

 

[tika denter]

I think they expected ppl to decline offers early Jan but Not enough accepted students declined offers to send new offers

How do you know that ?

 

[Boychi]

How do you know that ?

I could be wrong. I wonder if they send out rejections, or they just do accept/wait list.

 

[predent_24]

just got waitlisted!

 

[Boychi]

just got waitlisted!

When was your interview?

 

[tika denter]

Did you get a confirmation from cdm that your waitlisted (after you emailed the form) ?

 

[ishyfishy]

I submitted my AADSAS Application July 1st. Got email in August that they received my app. Never got an email asking for supplemental fee but paid it in October. I never got an application complete email but my AADSAS status says Received/Under Review for months. The ones who interviewed, did you get additional emails? I would appreciate any advice.

Literally the same thing happened to me. Not sure what this means.

After 2 weeks of my submission, I got an email saying they received my application. I honestly forgot if I even paid the supplemental fee because I have no emails of them telling me to pay, nor do I remember paying through their website via PayPal because I don't even have a PayPal account. On 8/21 I received the interview invite (the main wave), interview confirmation, interview reminder, and then got accepted 12/1.

How was the interview like? What kind of questions did they ask you? I have mine next week.

Thank you! In their app received email, they mention to not email them so it kinda got me in a weird position.

Btw, do you mind sharing your stats? Are you in state?
