Anyone heard back from Dalhousie this cycle for an interview or got accepted?

[daldent24 0]

I haven't heard back from Dal yet. I believe invites come out in Feb-March and interviews begin in April? Are you IP or OOP?

[tl2108 0]

Yeah it looks like there's still some time before hearing about interviews. I figured I'd start a thread for anyone who applied/gets an interview/gets accepted this cycle so we can interact with each other

Last year we received news mid-April and interviews were the first two weeks of May. I think usually people hear back around March, but I'm not sure.

Has anyone heard back from dal?

Nope... still nothing for me

[Lego 5]

Nothing here either. They send out emails for both acceptances and rejections right?

[Edith 0]

I heard they send out invitations mid April (for Canadian students), I believe!

Does anyone know if they look at feb Dat this year? since the feb dat is delayed until June and a lot of people haven't done the dat in Nov. I'm not sure if they are going to ignore the dat scores completely this year or just consider the people who have already done theirs.

Yeah it’s a tricky situation. I really hope they take the DAT into consideration, it would just be unfair otherwise. They should’ve made it a rule that the DAT must be taken by November.

yea but up until this year (and including this year) it said on the website that students could take the feb or the nov dat. Many people also didn't have an opportunity to do the dat in nov cause less spots were available.

For those of you who applied to Dal, what are good courses to take to fill the Writing and Humanities prereqs?

Has anyone heard when they are planning to send out interviews? In a previous e-mail they said at the end of March, but now I've been hearing that they've been telling applicants not until mid-April... Just wondering if anyone heard anything directly!

for social sciences I did some psych courses, but I would ask them directly, specially for writing requirements.

This was around the time last year when people experienced the change in decision status from "None" to "Decision Made" on their applications!! And interviews were sent out the following week. Has anyone who applied this year witnessed this yet?!? (apparently this isn't visible on the AADSAS application portal, only through dal directly)

Are you guys seeing "none" on your application right now?

Nope. Where exactly on the app?

It's in the second panel, coming right after your personal information (name, etc.). You can find it under "Application Data", third line down. 

Edit: In case it wasn't clear, you have to click on the application link once you sign in, under 'Processed Applications'. 

[Lego 5]

But guys, I think at one point we all received an email saying that the online portal is not being updated, and that we should only expect news of changes via email.

Question:

Did anyone reach out to admissions to see what they're doing about applicants who applied but weren't able to write the DAT in february? Are they still being considered?

[futuredentist15 0]

Another applicant let me know that they emailed Jo-Anne this week and she responded saying interview invites won't be coming out until late-April.

Can someone give me a reasonable explanation as to why this may be? I don’t understand why they can’t have interviews earlier, like every other school. The DAT doesn’t factor into interview selection, so what’s the hold-up???

As long as you have written the DAT in the last 2 years, you will be considered! Also, this years Feb DAT has been pushed to May- June and is still considered by dal this for this cycle.
