Even though we are deep into December 1st, theres a long way until the current cycle is finished. To help alleviate as much pre-dent anxiety as possible, we can use this topic to give people an idea of seats opening up from now until the end of the cycle.

I am turning down a few schools tonight, a few more next Monday, and withdrawing from the rest the following Sunday.

IT'S TOO SOON. I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT MY ACCEPTANCES 7 HOURS AGO AND NOW YOU WANT ME TO START TURNING THEM DOWN?!


At least give me a week!

No, but actually, I am turning down a few schools tonight, a few more next Monday, and withdrawing from the rest the following Sunday.
Congrats, Incis0r!
We hope to see you here on this pre-dental forum even after you matriculate!

If you really love your acceptances you must set them free (or something like that).

Yes I agree! I'm going to savor these acceptances a little bit. But I'll probably end up turning down 3 schools at the end of the week. Then withdrawing from the rest of the schools shortly after.

How about you, Viva?

How about you, Viva? Where are you thinking of going?

Only considering the offers in-hand I'm really liking Tufts - Recently interviewed with Maryland, and I seem to be avoiding the first wave of rejections from several schools that I haven't interviewed with (Penn/Pitt/Rutgers), and have a more-or-less waitlist for interview option with Case...so it all kind of depends on how post-December goes.

Temple/Penn are my top 2 at the moment (would like to continue living with my wife if at all possible), but I haven't heard a peep from either of them, so its just wishful thinking for now. Tufts and Maryland were fantastic though and I would be more than happy to attend either.

Are you up for sharing what you're thinking about each school/the pros and cons of each, or is that too personal/identifiable? Congratulations either way!

I just wanted you to know I've been secretly rooting for you throughout the cycle and I'm so excited about your acceptances. Congratulations!

I will do this, yes. But I will do it after making my decision and placing the deposit. The issue is that doing this right now will invite people to push for one school or another, and I want to make the decision objectively based on what is the best fit for me.
Plus you wouldn't get all of the attention and adoration you love from these forums if you posted them huh ;)

Turned down acceptance to Temple.

I am selfishly welcoming all declined acceptances of the Philadelphia-based variety :whistle:

Any idea which school you're leaning toward attending?

Right now I'm leaning toward attending Rutgers, but impatiently waiting to hear back from Columbia.

Hope you get in to Temple or UPenn.

Yeah unfortunately, all those options were more expensive than my current options that I'm considering (BU, UConn and UMich). Still haven't decided between these three!!
Oh okay. So you'll be OOS for these schools?
