futureDr.C Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 I think for a lot of us even getting admitted the memory will have a lot of anger too with all this bullsh** that we've dealt with! 47 minutes ago, ancientsoul said: i knowww... this whole admissions process is turning me off from ever applying here again Dr.Dent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancientsoul Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 I know of one person in the middle third who hasnt been contacted. this is all getting very confusing to me as i thought all 5-6 people in the middle third were contacted.. ugh this is the worst time to be ignored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c5555 Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Has anybody tried to contact the u of s or the dean of dentistry? This is not okay that we’re not even getting a reply. This is incredibly unjust and we have a right to know what is going on. Dr.Dent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't we just call him or something. ALSO, there's a different phone no. when i search college of dent on google. I might just try calling that number tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Dent Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 I think it would come off much stronger if we all talk to the dean and not just one student that they might think they could ignore. I'm all in for anything we decide. It's our right to know what's going on, we spent so much time and money on the application process itself. On top of that, so much mental stress from last few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futureDr.C Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 The things is how do we all talk to the dean? Write him an email and all sign off on it ? I just think hearing and seeing acceptances from people who aren’t top third off waitlist is wrong, them not emailing a new method of Offers is wrong and not returning phone calls or emails 48 hours after is unprofessional. I called back in May and still haven’t got a call back ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was thinking one of us writes an email and cc the others and mention in the email that they’ve cc’d all the accounts of students who’re concerned with the same issue. And definitely put a strong word about how we’ve been waiting for an email for a week and haven’t received anything. or we can all put our emails and names on the email the one person decides to write.

Those of you on the top third, could you please add your name to the document! we should probably send it by the end of tomorrow, so please do it as soon as you are free! c5555 and Dr.Dent 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c5555 Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Guys I think we should wait at least one more week before sending anybody anything further. My friends in dent are telling me that lots of faculty go on vacation this week. Another friend just told me as well that her class rep was in contact with someone from admissions today and that a lot of the college in general has been talking to the dean and admissions. I don't think we should try to this extreme at this point. Dr.Dent and Maggiie19 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futureDr.C Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Why are the college in general talking to dean and admissions, can you expand?? I do agree we should wait til maybe Wednesday of next week because with Canada Day many did take week off or wednesday-sunday off @c5555 c5555 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should wait till upcoming Thursday then. that'll be exactly 2 weeks from when my friend got off the middle third of the waitlist, and not too close to the end of july. thank you for letting us know!

c5555 Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 So apparently 33/34 spots are filled for the orientation - my friend just told me. Looks like another disappointing year Crockus and cc.v 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilToothAche Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Hi guys! This is one of the only latest USask Thread I found so I will seek for advice here. I am currently in 2nd year at uRegina, taking my prereqs right now. I am more so leaning forward to uSask dentistry as in IP but I plan on also applying for UofA. I was wondering: does uSask look into extra curriculars? I've viewed the admission process and it seems as if they do not take in ECs as part of admissions. With Covid, I had to cancel my shadowing plans with my dentist and there is not much I can really do so I am kind of stressed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all got played Wow that’s no good. The varying degrees regarding the lack of transparency in admissions processes is unacceptable in my opinion. Students dedicate years of education and hard work prior to applying only to be met with relatively vague admissions information. If one put themselves in the shoes of these students they could easily see how frustrating this is. You can’t help but feel there is little empathy towards prospect students although being empathic is a highly valued personal trait in dentistry. futureDr.C and Crockus 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c5555 Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Yeah, like last year I was waitlisted middle third and never got in. So unfair that he gets a chance that I didn’t. Anyways maybe it’s for the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friends have had their second day of classes and we got nothing. I’m literally not gonna apply here next year. This is mental torture.
