It has to be tomorrow. They can't afford to wait any longer
that is what I was told last week. I guess their process delayed again.I remember someone called them last week and he/she was told that the school is going to update everyone of their status early next week. So what happened? Did they just give us wrong information?
That's true... Sadly!Not trying to be the bearer of bad news, but their class is nearly full and they are preparing for the new cycle, just like every other dental school. Anybody who hasn't heard back should really start preparing/strengthening their application for the new cycle. Probably not what you want to hear, but just being real with you guys.
I haven't heard anything yet... and based on the previous post, those who are on the WL have a chance to hear back when a seat becomes available not the ones who haven't heard yet. Am I right?Those who have not heard back still have a chance but those on the waitlist have no chance so get used to it. Sorry to be bearer of bad news
I don't think so. Here's how it is. Why wouldn't they put everyone on the waitlist and then choose from there. They probably put the people on the waitlist that they want the least and will pick form the people who have not heard anything yet. That makes the most senseI haven't heard anything yet... and based on the previous post, those who are on the WL have a chance to hear back when a seat becomes available not the ones who haven't heard yet.

I hope that's the case because of my status, but I also hope the WL ppl hear good news soon!I don't think so. Here's how it is.

by touro? congrats btwI don't if this helps you guys out of not of anxiety but I was accepted at 12pm and will be attending the dental school! Good luck to everyone!
And your were not on the waitlist which proves my point that those who don't know their status still have a chanceI don't if this helps you guys out of not of anxiety but I was accepted at 12pm and will be attending the dental school! Good luck to everyone!
Congrats! What are your stats if you don't mind me asking?I don't if this helps you guys out of not of anxiety but I was accepted at 12pm and will be attending the dental school! Good luck to everyone!

Not hearing a response isn't exactly uncommon. BU took ten months to reject me and temple took like 9. It's part of the process unfortunately.If they don't respond to those still waiting by next week, there will be extreme hell to pay
Relax....If they don't respond to those still waiting by next week, there will be extreme hell to pay
If your on the waitlist you have close to zero chance. If you don't know your status you have a better chanceMeh, I would take their promise to get back to us "early next week" with a grain of salt at this point. I'm not sure how their process works but it's been delayed a lot of time in the past, so it's not gonna be surprising if their "early next week" is next Friday, and the only thing they send out will be a "Our class is filled and the application has been closed - thank you for trying" email.
But at this time, I think if you're not accepted yet, it's best to just start preparing for your next application cycle, whether that's this year or a couple years after. Start getting into post-bac, do more community service, get a temporary job in the dental field, whatever. The chance of getting pulled out of the wait list or accepted this late in the cycle seems really, really slim. If you're one of the lucky ones like paliman101, congrats, you just hit the jackpot! But for the rest of us, it's best not to be too stressed out about this. Anxiety and emotions were sky-high last week and there were a few posts made that were.... shall we say... "inappropriate."

It's not over until those who don't know their status get an answerIf you live near the school, maybe this will boost your chance, not original, but sure lots of determination, will sure get some attention... for this cycle or the next

You're absolutely right, but this happens when you don't get an interview with a school. Most schools usually update you with your status very soon once you have an interview... this is my personal experience though!Not hearing a response isn't exactly uncommon.

Accepted today at around 10:10am PST! Just in case you were wondering, this is my first time hearing back from them since my interview on Feb. 3rd with Dr. Steinberg. I also had that extra paragraph about being a strong candidate in that one email in March. This is my first acceptance, so I'm most likely taking their offer. Yay!

How do you know that? Not everyone is on SDN...By my calculations, there should only be around 10 people who don't know their status
It's my educated guess. Here is how I arrived at that number. They already rejected those they don't want and put the rest of those they kind of want on the waitlist and they've been only accepting from those who don't know their status. Plus it's very late in the cycle so they narrowed it down to only a handful of people.How do you know that? Not everyone is on SDN...
You do realize schools don't have to formally send rejection emails, right? Myself and many others still haven't heard from BU and/or LECOM since last July and their classes are 99% full. It's a courtesy, not required.It's not over until those who don't know their status get an answer
But for Touro they only accept form those who don't know their statusYou do realize schools don't have to formally send rejection emails, right? Myself and many others still haven't heard from BU and/or LECOM since last July and their classes are 99% full. It's a courtesy, not required.

If they are still waiting hopefully that means those students won't accepts their seatCongratulations! I am, however, still in the waiting game. I interviewed late February and received the strong candidacy letter afterwards. Any luck @xhmi3?
To others still waiting, Sam replied to my message and said the class is close to full. They are waiting for the responses from students who they sent acceptance letters to to make their next move.
Yeah, I just spoke with Sam. She told me the same. I asked for a percentage of how full the class is but she said they get the number from Touro each day so she doesn't have a precise one. She basically doesn't want to share that information. I'm still waiting, haven't lost hope, but definitely getting ready for next cycle. I can't even describe how much an acceptance would mean to me at this point. There's no arrangement of words..Congratulations! I am, however, still in the waiting game.

Congratulations!!Were you placed on waitlist recently?Accepted today around 1PM today. I will be accepting my spot. I also received the email with the extra paragraph about being a strong candidate. My stats are 21AA (dont remember the specific scores). 3.5 sGPA/3.57 oGPA/3.83 Graduate GPA.
I don't think so man. They've only been accepting people who don't know their status at allCongratulations!!Were you placed on waitlist recently?
Congratulations!!Were you placed on waitlist recently?
Thanks. I guess I might still have hope considering I havent received any update since interviewing. This does seem so backwards though. I would've thought waitlisters have the best chance at this time. If not then whats the point? Also it seems not that many people got actual rejections. I think Touro is playing it by ear and learning as they go on how to handle this first application cycle. Its confusing!I didn't know my status, freddent is correct.
Do you mind share the email who do you write to regarding to the extra paragraph?Accepted today at around 10:10am PST!
