WaitlistBoy Posted February 25, 2023 Report Posted February 25, 2023 For those who were accepted, how are you guys sending the reply slip? Would email be fine? Quote
lion43 Posted February 25, 2023 Report Posted February 25, 2023 Accepted GPA: 4.00 DAT (AA/PAT): 22/20 Casper: 3rd Year of study: current 4th year IP/OOP: IP interview thoughts: felt pretty good. I tried to tie my experiences when I could but did not force it when not necessary and just let my personality shine. Honestly the biggest advice that helped me is to be confident, charismatic and not robotic (the interviewers are just human after all so they want to be able to connect with you on a personal level). so grateful for this blessing Quote
yuumi Posted February 25, 2023 Report Posted February 25, 2023 Accepted GPA: 3.89 DAT: 24 AA/ 25 PAT Capser: 4th Year of Study: 4th IP/OOP: IP Interview thoughts: Initially felt good about it but started overthinking the days after. It went by really quickly. Quote
dentalfloss22 Posted February 25, 2023 Report Posted February 25, 2023 Accepted GPA: 3.93 (lowest year dropped) DAT (AA/PAT): 24/21 Casper: 4th Year of Study: Gap Year IP/OOP: IP Interview Thoughts: Felt good afterwards! I felt that I was able to answer the questions with confidence, and that I was able to highlight traits that were relevant to dentistry. I personally had more neutral interviewers, so some interviewers may not be overtly receptive to your answers. This was my second time applying, and I was waitlisted the first time. I definitely think reworking my personal statements and gaining some shadowing experience helped make me a stronger candidate. Quote

futuretoothdoc Posted February 25, 2023 Report Posted February 25, 2023 Posting this in case it helps someone in the future Accepted!!!! gpa: 3.97 (lowest year dropped) DAT (AA/PAT): 21/21 Casper: Q3 IP/OOP: IP Interview thoughts: I think it went pretty well. I tried to be charismatic and show them that I am genuinely happy and grateful to be there. When I prepped for the interview, I prepped with the mindset of wanting not to be thrown off by weird questions and building strategies that would help me answer those questions effectively which came in handy during the actual interview. I tried to incorporate personal experiences as much as possible (so long as it was relevant) and was talking to both interviewers as if it was a conversation despite them playing good cop bad cop. There are definitely a lot of things that come to mind that I could have done differently but all in all I tried to do my best and show them who I am as a person. I am truly very grateful for this blessing and I wish waitlist and future applicants the best of luck! <3 Quote

stressedespair Posted February 25, 2023 Report Posted February 25, 2023 can those that got accepted tell me a bit about their ECs? i'm not sure how uoft looks at ecs and i would appreciate some help Quote
ilovedentistry Posted February 25, 2023 Report Posted February 25, 2023 ACCEPTED!! GPA: 3.97 (no years dropped because I am in my 3rd year) DAT (AA/PAT): 23/24 Casper: 2nd IP/OOP: OOP but doing undergrad IP Interview thoughts: I thought the interview went relatively well. My interviewers were very friendly, we exchanged a few laughs, and they were very responsive to my answers. The questions were more difficult than I was expecting so I did not get to talk about my ECs and experiences as much as I would have liked. Quote
Predental987 Posted February 26, 2023 Report Posted February 26, 2023 Accepted! GPA: 3.96 (no years dropped as I am in my 4th year) DAT (AA/PAT): 20/20 Casper: 4th IP/OOP: IP Interview thoughts: Felt just okay about the interview at the time and progressively felt worse lol. I tried to talk about my personal experiences but struggled to do that with the questions that I was given. I think it went okay tho. The interviewers were going for a good cop/bad cop vibe and the interview was definitely not conversational for me. Quote
toothfairyx Posted February 26, 2023 Report Posted February 26, 2023 Accepted! GPA: 3.99 (lowest year dropped) DAT (AA/PAT): 21/23 Casper: 2nd IP/OOP: IP Interview thoughts: I was able to integrate a couple of personal experiences into my answers but did not feel they were cohesive. Felt progressively worse about my interview the more I thought about my answers. Quote

littlemissdental Posted February 27, 2023 Report Posted February 27, 2023 Accepted! gpa: 3.96 (no years dropped as I am in my 3rd year) DAT (AA/PAT): 21/24 CASPer: 2Q IP/OOP: OOP Interview thoughts: I was very nervous prior, but all the upper year dental students were so nice before hand that I felt much more at ease going in. My interviewers were very nice, and although the questions were tough and definitely caught me off-guard, I just tried to answer to the best of my ability. My questions didn't leave me much room to incorporate my ECs but I did try whenever possible. Additionally, my interview was not super conversational, but I still managed to crack a joke or two. Best of luck to any future applicants. Quote
trismagistus Posted February 27, 2023 Report Posted February 27, 2023 ACCEPTED! GPA: 3.96 DAT (AA/PAT): 23/24 CASPer: 2Q IP/OOP: IP Interview thoughts: I didn't feel too confident coming out of the interview. I felt the questions were somewhat straightforward but I wasn't able to articulate my answers to the best of my ability. However, I tried my best to sound natural and speak to the interviewers as if I was having a conversation which I think helped a lot. Quote
