bucktooth5000 Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Their website has always said late March/early April, but all of their emails throughout the interview process have only said late March. So at this point idk if it's still possible that it will be early April or if they're set on late March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carson K Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Result: Waitlisted GPA: 92% (also finished masters) DAT: 21PAT/21AA/19RC ABS: Quite diverse, some research and lots of jobs/volunteering. Lacking on shadowing and dental specific activities. Interview: Felt it went okay, answers were fine but did not feel a connection to interviewers at all. Does anyone know how the waitlist works? How many typically make it in off the list or have heard what their rank is (I just emailed them today about it). Any info would be great. Congrats to everyone who got in!

Ms. Chip Skylark Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Result: Waitlist IP GPA: 84% DAT: 23AA 25RC 21PAT ABS: HBSc. conferred June 2020. 2x wet lab research for grad students during my undergrad (one as a paid PT job, one unpaid through a course), 1 PT job in retail, 1 FT job in a medical lab (currently working here), 2x shadowing dentists (~ 125 hours total), volunteerism (at an adoption centre, as a tutor for first-year undergrads, in a first-year undergrad psychology lab, etc.), school clubs (pre-dental club, etc.) Interview: medium. I prepared for a week - definitely not enough time. In this time I was able to learn how to answer the questions and knew what to say but I wasn't able to shake off the nerves. So although I was happy with my answers to the questions and was able to bring up my experiences, I don't think my personality showed as I hoped it would. I was nervous so I talked fast and rushed in saying my answers because the time limit stressed me out - all of which I think could have been avoided if I practiced longer/with others over video call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ararat301 Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Result: Accepted GPA: 89% DAT: 21AA / 23RC / 21PAT ABS: Very diverse I think. Masters and work experience. Interview: I think it went ok. Finished early with 11min to spare. Could've definitely delved more into detail with my answers but I think it went well.

s-lettuce Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Result: Waitlist IP GPA: 87-88% DAT: 21AA / 19RC / 19PAT ABS: Strong I think. Many unique leadership, volunteer and research experiences. Interview: I thought it went well. I used the whole 30 minutes and the interviewers seemed to like me. Are they not giving out information about waitlist ranking this year? I emailed them for more details and all they said is that they cannot provide information about waitlist position. I know in previous years they had a low, mid, high tier system and they would hint as to where you placed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
