Yeah. I just received the same email. I'm wondering if this means interview invite?
11/2. But they are willing to work with you regarding dates. So far, other schools have just been throwing dates at me to choose from.

So we're there dates earlier then that like in October?thanks
Yes. They had dates available in October.
Were you able to schedule this phone consults? They said it has to be in January.
Sorry to hear the bad news. I feel you. I am just wondering, were you meeting all the online criteria before you applied? I am wondering how come they send rejections so early, or how does their system work? This is my first time applying.Rejected
I'd like to think so, however, ADEA ADSAS took two months to verify my course load and even though I applied the first week, I received the Supplemental Application end of August which I sent back the next day and they started looking at my application about a week ago. I am in a lot of suspense now hearing how early they let you know, but at the same time, better earlier than later. Have you applied anywhere else?Thank you. This is my first time applying as well. I am not sure what they look for specifically. I have a high GPA and decent DAT scores, taken most of their recommended coursework, shadowed for a dentist who is an LLU alumn, did research, etc. They may have thought that I didn't exactly fit what they were looking for...or that's what I like to think
.I called them to ask why I got rejected after submitting the secondary. They said that everything looked great except for the 19 on RC. They said 19 on RC was too low :/ I asked them if the rejection had anything to do with my essay responses and they said no ... so yeah lol I guess they want to see 20 and or above on everything. I thought their email was rude though. I'm sure you'll get an invite somewhere
Tbh, it sounds like they tried really hard to think of a reason why they rejected you lol. It blows my mind that they said they rejected you because of a 19 in one section.I called them to ask why I got rejected after submitting secondaries. They said that everything looked great except for the 19 on RC. They said 19 on RC was too low :/ I asked them if the rejection had anything to do with my essay responses and they said no ... so yeah lol I guess they want to see 20 and or above on everything.

Those are good stats!
If u have anything under 20 on the DAT they reject. This is what they told ME. obviously I don't know if it's true since my friend got in last cycle with a 19 in QR. but idk this is what the head of admissions told me regarding this cycle
Can you try to appeal due to the fact that they rejected you before your app was even fully complete?
i agree, i was rejected before all my letter of recs were in ("letter from a clergy"). And this happened the second day i submitted my application.
CALL AND COMPLAIN. Put them in their place. There is no reason with those numbers.
Same. I have a RC of 19 and said that's too low lmao. The lady on the phone was nice, however. She said I can email and ask for an appeal. I didn't even bother to do it but you could try.
ADA regulations state the acceptance letters can be sent only starting Dec 1. So they must date these Dec 1.
Yeah not sure how they did it but last year's thread definitely has people posting on 11/30. One person even said "accepted at 4PM."
Thanks @KkOma, how is your first year going?
Just hope for the best! I think probably something stood out to them from your application, whether it is extracurriculars/community service or spiritual involvement, and that's why they are just holding back until they are done with the "top" applicants on Dec 1st, so to say. No news is better than a rejection, for now. Good luck

I saw your post previously and it saddened me to read about your story. I know( probably better than anyone) its hard to maintain a high GPA- I'm finishing my 5th year next month and my lowest GPA was in one term a 3.48 (an over 3.8 overall let's just say). It is hard to believe/accept that DAT weighs 50% or more of the application- that one exam counts more than the perseverance and the tears we've shed over the years. Started to speak English as an adult, 9 years ago, it's been really hard trying to compete with all the native speakers. Ironically, science/math is my strongest suit and in DAT- RC was my highest score. I can be precise in soap carving- almost perfectly and I see the shape really well in my head- I absolutely love working with my hands and yet I did not do so well in PAT. That's why I don't see how DAT can be at all accurate? Will I do better next time, probably, cause I don't give up, but since I have a full load and several labs I don't have time to prepare right now- without hurting my GPA. Ill probably have to wait until April- May to retake it, but I will miss my chance by then. - trusting God has the best in store for everyone- either I like it or not, I will be thankful regardless.
This is so true. It’s disgusting what this school did this cycles turning away great students all for a DAT score. For such a religious and moral school, they pulled the dirtiest move
Maybe LLU is at fault for not having very clear admission criteria, but I think all of us can attest that LLU admission were always kind and respectful. I have dealt with other universities where when I asked to clarify information on the website, they would send me a link directing me to the website- and when I emailed again, their response was rude. There are some really terrible/unprofessional people out there, but LLU isn't one of them. I'm sorry to hear you got rejected. I'd be really upset too. But remember hard work and a positive attitude will pay off eventually.
