That's a relief! Thank you Maggie19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiek Posted April 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Decision made literally means they have reviewed you file and made a decision. That could mean either interview invite or rejection. Either way they have looked at your file! bbcoleworld 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is why they would update the application status to “decision made” without an email disclosing the decision made. shrekfiona12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My response was not directly to you, just a general response to calm some nerves, ie it doesn't mean rejection. From my experience, the status updates come before the email distribution for some reason. bbcoleworld 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkelephant Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Would the release of February DAT results also contribute to the delay in Dal interview invites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they use Feb DAT results. This is what the website says "By February 1 of your entry year, you must complete the Dental Aptitude Test (DAT) through the Canadian Dental Association DAT or American Dental Association DAT."

We can see the status through the application on Dal Online. It does not offer any advantage to be able to check the status though as Dentistry does not use Dal Online to track information.

And I thought I was IP since I have lived in NS for a year now on my gap year, but they may have changed the residency requirements to have the cutoff of one year to December 1st 2019 I read somewhere, but I don't know for sure what they considered me :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to contact her to go over my application but she said to wait until after June 1st since they're busy now. Maggie19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 3.99 and it says in my email "If you decide to re-apply, you should be aware that the most significant factors in competition for places are a student’s academic standing in recent university studies and in the higher level prerequisite courses (physiology, biochemistry and microbiology) for entrance to dentistry. " I guess the competition for OOP is just very high... Edited April 16, 2020 by DentKoolKid wrong info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
