Me too. I completed mine during the last week of march. I didn't know about this program until march. I just called and they said that mine is still under review & that others are as well.

Does anyone know how many people apply to this program? I can't find any stats anywhere on the web.
 
this was an email from the admissions counselor

"We receive a few hundred applications and there are 18 spots for the Medical track. Every applicant is considered and the Committee on Admissions reviews all files thoroughly in order to make a decision."

does anyone know how long they take after the interview to tell you if you have been accepted or not ?

I heard up until August guys. It's still a long road of waiting.

They interview all who were invited before sending out any acceptances. In previous years acceptances went out starting mid to late May.

I read in a previous post that it makes no difference since they wait for everyone to interview before they start sending out acceptances, but I guess we really have no way of knowing how it goes down behind the scenes. I think that as long as you have an interview it means they are interested, now you just have to shine in the interview :) Good Luck!
 
Anyone hear about any interview invites today? Seems like the past 2 Tuesdays people got invites. Congrats to everyone with invites & thanks for the links. I'm working on applying to other programs. I was out of town this wkend in an area with horrific internet connection. I wish I knew about these programs sooner.

Hey guys! Congrats to those who are applying. I am retracting my application because moving to Florida given my current living situation is unrealistic. I will be applying for this upcoming cycle for the 2016 entering class! If accepted, I plan to do the DMD/DO dual degree. I had a 17AA (DAT) and currently have a 3.67 GPA (will be a 3.7 GPA upon graduating). I think I am either going to attend the PCOMs masters program down the street from me or take a year off, get more shadowing/dental volunteering experience, and work on getting my DAT much higher while I save up some cash for the upcoming expenses I will incure with this upcoming Dental Application cycle. Good luck to everyone!!!
 
Anyone know if there's more interview dates after 4/29? Or is 29th the last date interviews are being held? I'm having a hard time reaching Ms. Medina (the admissions counsellor), and still under review
 
I saw dates for May 4, 6, and 8. I believe my app was complete in mid February and I have mid GPA and relatively high DAT with a perfect reading comp score.

Thanks for that info!! I was going crazy thinking 29th was the last interview date.
I guess those who were complete from mid feb through apr 15 are still waiting on II

From what I've read, people with March completion dates have received interview invites as well. Earlier has proven to be much better, at least in the past.

Really? That's interesting. I was hoping they were still pending IIs to march completion. Guess it's a waiting game.
 
Hey guys ! Still haven't heard back and I applied around March 20th. Anyone in the same boat ?

I applied early Feb and haven't heard anything. So starting to lose hope about this program.

I am! I was completed couple days after yours. Still haven't heard anything. I've been calling the main line everyday, and until today I've been told I'm under review. But today they said "Under review pending decision". They weren't able to say what that meant.

Believe there are usually 6 or 7 spots for dental. Interview invites are usually out by now, might still be going through the rest of the week. Once you interview acceptances usually go out mid to late May.

I heard there will be no more interview invites as of 4/24.

Just out of curiosity, where did you hear this from? The main admissions line wouldn't tell me anything more than "under review pending decision", and I haven't gotten a reply to my voicemails or emails from the admissions counsellor.... Is there any other contact person I'm missing?
 
DarkPixie's comment above, and previous years' threads suggest that interview invites are usually done by now.

Mine is also still under review. After reviewing previous years posts, this year's process is different. They are definitely behind schedule in comparison to previous years. So I suggest not to loose hope. At least that's what I'm doing.
