Did you submit a fafsa? I got an email from the FA office to proceed with submitting the rest of the required info. I made an account following the link & it directed me to submit an online form regarding housing and dates I am supposed to be enrolled

Of course, and when did you get the email. I spoke to Chris in the admission office( facilitator of mock PBL) and he told me that I we should be receiving the same thing in the mail soon.

I just called and one of the interviewers said "we don't know when the next batch is going to be sent out". So I hope it's before July!!

Hi everyone. I am a lurker here and this is my first post but I was accepted on April 24th! I was wondering for the admitted students, how are you planning on dealing with the insane financial hole that we are going to dig ourselves into? I am not rich by any means and am on my own for all four years, and the thought of being between half a million to 1 million dollars in debt at the end of it all terrifies me...USC was my only acceptance and I am half considering dropping my seat to reapply as I didn't receive any other interviews at schools with lower costs of attendance like Western or UCLA. Do you guys have any tips on dealing with this daunting black hole that is facing us right now? It felt amazing to finally be accepted but the cost is just giving me so much anxiety and I keep questioning if it really is going to be a nightmare dealing with the debt after graduation...

If dentistry is something you want to do I'd go for it. Median salary for a dentist is $150,000. As long as your working you'll have the means to pay off the loan. I consider dental school debt to be worth it. Or if all else fails ignore it and wait for the bill will be to busy to worry about it once were in school.

That's a really big topic of discussion. Some will tell you that by reapplying next cycle you gave up a year of peak earning and risk not being admitted next year/ever. Others will tell you NYU & USC are financial suicide. Personally, I would never turn down a seat (especially for a Californian with UCSF/UCLA as their only in-state public options).

PS: I'd consider not practicing in SoCal.

The best way to deal with dental school debt, no matter where you go, is to practice dentistry. :) So get in and get out, don't wait. Dental schools can look poorly on an applicant's decision to not attend a school once they'd already been accepted. Not worth the risk IMO. Best of luck!

Did you apply late this cycle? If you are a competitive applicant (competitive DAT/GPA/Extracurriculars) I don't see why it would be a bad idea. I am supposing you applied late. You can apply day 1 of this upcoming cycle and work during the gap year (get life experience). If you applied early and your stats are so so than I would just accept the offer and get on with your life. I totally get the struggle. There was no way I could afford to go to USC (it is insane how much they charge). Fortunately I got into allot more affordable schools. There is also the military option, which is not a bad deal, but that is not for everyone. Hope this helps :)

This happened to me. Very unprofessional on their part.
 
I know the wait is tough, just gotta be patient guys. There are still a few schools I haven't heard from as well. Doesn't make them unprofessional, just busy.

May was already sent out. They said beginning of July would be when they send out the next batch. Good luck!
 
Does anyone know about how many people are left on the waitlist right now?
How many spots left in the class?
 
Our second deposit is due July 1st for those curious. So maybe first week of July will be another batch?

When I called last it was the day before they sent out the last acceptance and they said about 85% of the class is full.. so about 22 seats are open.

I didn't apply quite as early as some, but haven't received any rejection from USC as of yet. Holding out hope still. There really should be a better way to let people know of their standing as it is really frustrating to be kept in limbo this late in the game.
