[HChoudhary1]

Hey everyone, let's start fresh with this thread and keep it helpful and informative!

I'm an in state resident, interviewed on 1/10 and was accepted during the last batch of invites on 1/20!

Willing to give insight on the interview day and anything else you all might have questions on!

I thought I was seeing double, but there are there two new threads now. I guess this one should be the official 2.0 since it has "2.0" in the title and all

 

[futuresodark]

Aadsas website still says "invited for interview" and I interviewed 1/11. Is this normal??

Also just received a rejection email from VCU

Yep that's normal! Pretty sure it will say that until a decision has been made on your file.

Yup, perfectly normal. If there's any movement in your application, it'll change from that to whatever the outcome is ("Offer Made", "Wait Listed", or "Application Denied"). It might take a little bit for AADSAS to update even after you've already heard back so don't really pay attention to it too much

Thank you guys! Hopefully it changes to "offer made " this Friday!!

Best of luck to you and everyone else still waiting to hear back. Can't say for certain but I think an update this Friday is pretty likely since the February interviews will start soon

 

[NicoPresto]

First week in February is a popular time to hear back

I got accepted! I had two letter from biology professors but I made sure to email them and explain my situation as to why I wasn't able to provide a letter from a chem professor. So if you have a valid reason I would recommend you email them asap. All the best.

I didn't do any of those and I had two biology LOR.. do you think it'll be an issue ??

 

[dr.d00m]

Considering you were already invited for an interview, I would say it probably isn't a huge deal

 

[cjddds]

Do they read the LOR before they interview you or after? I have been told both but I'm really not quite sure. Anyway, @dr.d00m is right. Once you've had the interview it probably wasn't an issue.

Hmm okay good

 

[hopefuldent6789]

when I applied I got in without having one chemistry and one biology letter. You're good.

 

[blablabla1]

I sent two biology LORs and got an interview. I don't think they're too strict on the requirement

 

[hankreagan]

Has anyone heard anything from admissions today yet?

From what I've seeing, I think they send it out around 2ish so you still got about 3 hours left. It's driving me crazy right now lol

[hkjang]

If you were accepted to Maryland, would you be willing to forfeit your deposit at BU and go here instead? If so, YES go to your interview. You are going to be a dentist either way.

I got acceptance email from BU while at Maryland interview haha . I loved Maryland and would personally choose Maryland over BU if accepted. Go have a look!

 

[sjlee25]

How much is the deposit for Maryland?

 

[Hungryh1pp09]

How much is the deposit for Maryland?

I believe $1,000.

 

[sjlee25]

I believe $1,000.

Just once or do they make us pay deposits multiple times?

 

[Hungryh1pp09]

Just once or do they make us pay deposits multiple times?

Their website states "For candidates who receive an offer of admission, a deposit of $1,000 must accompany the applicant's acceptance of the offer of admission. This sum will be credited toward the applicant's tuition and is non-refundable. An additional $1,000 deposit is due by April 1 to confirm intent to enroll."

 

[umbtoothfairy]

There are 2 deposits. The first is $1000 and I belive the second for $1000 is due in March or April

Edit: I think it was $750 my year. This year is $1000

 

[jkbaltimore]

Yeah it's $1000 for your first deposit along with a signed commitment letter and your ID photo, and then another $1000 by April 1st!

I second what @umbtoothfairy said. If you're okay with the idea of forfeiting a BU deposit in the event you receive a Maryland acceptance, go for it. If not, then you could cancel your interview. Completely up to you. Are you in state for BU?
