IU received my application from AADSAS today. Now we wait! :corny:
 
A couple days ago I got a call from an Indianapolis number, my first thought? Maybe this is IU calling to offer me an interview invite. I answer the phone, "Hello.. This is the Indiana University School of Dentistry.............*dramatic pause* calling to remind you of your cleaning appointment on x date". I hate this waiting game! Hahah
 
Hoping to hear back from IU within the next few weeks!
 
They're usually around August 20th, based on previous years.

Yeah that's what Dr. Peterson mentioned when I called up there last week. The wait is killing me!

I'm praying that week is nothing but good news, I only applied to 6 schools in surrounding states and they all mostly send around the same time :eek:
 
Just noticed on AADSAS, school decisions:

I'm OOS too. How favorable are they about OOS? What were your stats?


Sent from my iPhone using SDN mobile
It's roughly 70:30 IS to OOS, so they accept a good number of OOS residents. I had a 3.4 and 20 with a large amount of shadowing, volunteer, and research hours.

Sweet! That gives me hope. I have a 3.7 and a 19. Is the cost outrageous for OOS?

Tuition is ~$70k for OOS/year. It it better than most private schools, and fairly average for public OOS cost. Indianapolis isn't a super expensive place to live (unless you decide to live downtown.... don't do that haha). All in all, I'd say I spend ~$80k/year with living and tuition. So, definitely not great, but could be much worse. I.e. Tufts, NYU, USC, etc...

What was your timeline in regards to AADSAS complete, mailed, received, and DAT received?


Sent from my iPhone using SDN mobile
I was second batch, so early/mid June is when it was completed and sent. I don't remember exact dates on all the other stuff, but I'd imagine around that time, too.

You'll most likely get an interview, so do well on that. Hard to say anything past that.

What's the interview style?


Sent from my iPhone using SDN mobile
Ours was a few one on one interviews. I assume it will be the same, but I can't swear to that. It really is a fun day, and it is very laid back. Just be yourself (I know that is the most cliche thing to say, but it is so true), know your personal statement, know why IU is a good fit for you and why you're a good fit for IU, and know why you want to be a dentist. Make sure all your answers are genuine and not just you trying to tell everyone what you think they want to hear.

I am trying to fill out supplemental online but I don't know what is External Application number? is that AADSAS ID?
 
Still waiting for gpa verification and do I have a chance if I apply late in September? Got my bachelor degree at Purdue.

How long does their supplemental take to complete? Is it essay questions?

10 minutes, it's just like signing up to be a graduate student a Indiana University. Basic background information and a fee.
 
Did you call them and ask them?

Yeah I've called them multiple times over the last few weeks to check on updates and every time they said that about interview notifications (the waiting's been killing me haha).

So did they say they will begin sending out on the 20th or they won't send out any until after the 20th (or in other words it'll be sometime after the 20th)?

They said in the past they start sending things out on the 20th. The 20th though is a Saturday this year so it makes me wonder if it will be a few days after the 20th until we hear something.
