Hi Im Dent said:
Though I can't speak for how many invites were given out and if it is consistent with each interview day, I can say that when I paneled on Saturday there was about 100 people give or take.

This was for dental only, and there were definitely around 100 people (maybe a little less?). You initially get split up into two groups of ~50 people, and one group goes to the second floor while the other group stays on the first floor. The 50 people are then split up into 6 groups, and the schedule that mayhugs posted applied. There were a LOT of interviewers.

This is correct. We do have a lot of faculty here.

What was your undergraduate GPA? I think they will look at both GPAs and decide from there.

my undergrad gpa was below a 3.0 and I graduated as an undergrad way back in 2010 when I received my BS in Biology Sciences from HU in 2010.

I'm sure it's possible to get an interview! Did you explain your undergrad situation on why you did so poorly on the supplemental? I graduated in 2012, so you're not too much older than me :p

I'm in a post-bacc program right now and I know people that have gotten interviews with low GPAs. That being said, the post-bacc GPA adds onto the undergrad GPA, so it raised that specific GPA (so it wouldn't a separate GPA like for a Master's). Good luck with everything!!!

What is your post-bacc gpa similar like mines?
 
Does anyone know when the earliest interview date available is for the school? And also if there is any word on when the next batch of interview invitations will be sent out?

I believe someone responded Jan 20 is the earliest available interview date. There are no more pre-Dec dates open. Also not sure when they are sending out the next round of invites..Looks like they usually invite the beginning of the month.

I can second this, I was told the only two they had available at the moment (when I was called) were Nov 5 & Jan 20. I can't imagine someone taking the January interview unless they had their priority school booked in November already. Hopefully they send some more interviews as people might cancel if others roll in!

Like I said earlier, the post-bacc GPA added onto my undergraduate GPA, making that around a 3.3. However, my post-bacc GPA itself was around a 3.97
 
Hey guys my interview is coming up. I wanted to know if there were any weird interview questions that were asked that you wished you had known about earlier?
 
Second time getting this Preview day email from western.
I didn't go last time because I thought it seemed like a lot of money to go on a school tour type of thing. But is it helpful at all to go?

This is the one interview you do not need to worry about. Super relaxed and you'll have a fun experience. If you don't, I'll eat my own hat.

Anyone have a clue or insight on how many applicants are accepted for an anticipated class of 69?

Most schools accept more than the actual class size, considering a good number of those accepted might choose to attend another dental school.

Thanks in advance for the info!

I got the same email! Does anyone know if attending the preview sessions affects your chances? This is the third email I've received from them, and I'm starting to get a bit antsy.

are you guys planning on applying there after getting the email?
 
Do every applicant get that email or does it hint the interview invitation at all?
 
thats what i am not sure of, if everyone gets that email then probably won't apply, but if that email implies interview then we might as well..

This is my 2nd time applying there. I got that email last year and didn't get an interview.

I already applied to WesternU this cycle .. I'm just waiting for an interview. So we're in two different boats; I have applied and am waiting but you haven't and are deciding whether to apply or not :)
 
Anyone interviewing tomorrow wanna grab dinner? I was at the 330 hec tour, left my spot on the elevator for the mom and kids.
