I have a feeling about today, I think we’ll hear something.......*checks email every five minutes*
I heard that they may be only sending out two rounds...Anyone hear anything about A&M lately? I know they’ve only sent out 2 rounds...
Not a clue, sorry.My dude , u dont happen to know anything bout houston or sa do u?
Yeah, lots of people just get accepted and never log into SDN again lol.Lmao bro thats cool. Dam i chose a bad year to apply to tmdsas. Last year's sdn thread was so lit, iono why this year's is so quiet. If someone got in last year, they definitely woulda posted it. No disrespect but dam
Any day now, they apparently met last Wednesday to decide and so I feel like it is very imminent lolAnyone have any idea when Houston would sent out the next list? Assuming at least 5-10 acceptances are left.
Heard from a friend that called that they were going to send a round next weekCome on Houston!
I also, sadly, got the UTSD rejection letter and interviewed late October. Waiting on San Antonio without high hopes and post bach interview end of March. Hoping I can get into one of the two or else it’s rushing to reapply and retake DAT for me! Good luck to all of you still waiting.
Honestly though if you got interviews, why would you retake? My DAT isn't that great and I don't have the time to retake personally but I always thought if you got the interviews then your fine and just need to try again as a reapplicant and show your dedicatedI also, sadly, got the UTSD rejection letter and interviewed late October.

may i ask where u heard this info? thanksI overheard Dr. Malone say today that there should still be 2-3 more rounds of acceptances
Honestly, I’m dreading re taking it. I have a lower GPA so I figured I’d need to offset it more with a higher DAT score. But you may absolutely be right. I was planning on talking to contacts at the school from interviewing about what they suggest before making any solid decisions anyways. I just also don’t want to start a masters now that I’m graduating in May and just spend more money like that so I need to see what they suggest and just suck it up and do whatever they say I need to to get in the next round lolHonestly though if you got interviews, why would you retake?

You know they suggest a masters and all this, but at the end of the day, having to go get a job and pay bills and maybe take a class or two sounds realistic. They accept working adults all the time and nothing is more realistic than having to earn a living. Really, what could they say to your face in an interview if you respond "I had to make a living"? I surely wouldn't criticize that! That's straight up maturity.Honestly, I’m dreading re taking it. I have a lower GPA so I figured I’d need to offset it more with a higher DAT score.

Doubt we’ll be hearing anything soon since all three schools are out for spring break this week.
i don't think spring break matters. the break is only for the studentsDoubt we’ll be hearing anything soon since all three schools are out for spring break this week.
It won’t matter when it comes to applying to their GPR.I'm pretty sure I'll be getting rejected from San Antonio, but I hope to do there GPR program after dental school. Do ya'll think they will care that they didn't want to accept me for dental school when considering me for their GPR program? My interviewer said it was the best GPR in the US.
Okay awesome, thank you.It won’t matter when it comes to applying to their GPR.
Congrats! Do you have two weeks to respond?UTHealth SA acceptance around noon today! Boy oh boy what a journey it’s been
Yup, two exactly.Congrats! Do you have two weeks to respond?
stats?I got accepted to San Antonio! Be seeing yall there!
oh man I'm so sorry to hear that. My question is did you get rejections from those two interviews?Need some advice about retaking my DAT guys. This cycle I only applied to Texas schools. I applied really late, like right before the deadline, and I ended up getting two interviews. My gpa is 3.5 and DAT is 20. I studied most of last summer for my DAT and barely pulled that score off. I was planning on taking It again, but do to financial reasons I may have to work full time this summer so I don’t know if I will have time to really improve on my score. One of my weaknesses that was brought up in my interviews was my dental related volunteer hours, which was below average. I have really good shadowing hours, and I’m currently volunteering at a free dental clinic I just found out about in the Houston area, so I should be able to bring my hours up to a good number next cycle. This next cycle I plan on applying out of state, so I have to work more to be able to afford all the fees, flights for interviews, etc. I’m an older applicant, so I don’t have as much time on my hands. There’s a lot of stuff going on in my life currently, and I don’t know if it is really necessary for me to put it all on hold and spend the time retaking my test. I’ve talked to a lot of my friends who are current dental students, and even dentists who I shadow, and I’ve heard mixed things from everyone, so I just wanted to hear what you guys think. Thank you guys for your time!
I would think it’s your interviewing skills more than anything...GPA and DAT are good. What’s your sGPA and TS? I think those are looked at more than anything. I would just continue adding volunteering/ECs to your application and reapply, but you still have a chance!Thanks! Only one rejection so far, but it’s already late March so I’m trying to prepare for the worst. 20 is average in Texas, just like my GPA.
I agree! I think you have a really good shot,I would think it’s your interviewing skills more than anything...GPA and DAT are good. What’s your sGPA and TS?

I emailed Dr Clooney, he said I would hear back by May 1st..... and that just sounds like a rejection LOLDoes anyone have any recent updates from Houston?
