DDSER Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 So Western offers 56 spots for admission, but last year 38 of those spots were accepted off of the waitlist. That means 94 acceptances were given out. Is it right to say that approximately 1 in 2 people will get an offer of admission?No. Waitlist movement changes every year.

Coronaxtra Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Apparently, UWO isn't contacting others to interview if people withdraw. One of my friends called in and they said that this year, there is no waitlist from which people will be called. They will just interview less than 200 if need be.

KernalMustard Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Did anyone get rejected with high AA and RC I have a 92.26% best 2 years and 24RC. however i had no shadowing. Was that required? I know a couple of 2020 students with very little to no shadowing experience. I guess it wasn't required as long as you had a reasonable explanation.

AncientDentist Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 I know a couple of 2020 students with very little to no shadowing experience. I guess it wasn't required as long as you had a reasonable explanation. I remember finding out about the shadowing when the application was first made available. I completely freaked out. In the end I just shadowed about 25 hours in like December and I guess that was enough for them (although I thought it looked rlly bad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it wasn't required as long as you had a reasonable explanation. We only found out when the application became available so I feel like they were more lenient in our year since it was brand new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raib Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Congrats to everyone who received an invite, hope to see you here soon. I'm involved in planning this year's interview weekend, let me know if there's anything you want to see/hear/learn/(eat?). I'll be offering answers to logistics of the interview day ONLY.

raib Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Try not to PM me, I'm sure your questions will be helpful for everyone. 1. Do tours of the dental school take place at specific times or do they occur for each group of interviewees before/after? Excluding lunch, there's a set of tours every half hour between 10 and 4:30, we may run tours before and after these times as well. 2. When is check-in? (I guess this will be disclosed when the interview time lottery results are out?) Check-ins are open all day, you're encouraged to arrive an hour ahead of your interview and volunteers will direct. 3. Not a huge deal but will there be coffee at check-in? No promises, I believe there will be at lunch, but not for the rest of the day. 4. For travel purposes, how long should I expect to stick around if I want to attend the Q&A, tour, etc? Q&A is at lunch (12:15-1:15), tour takes about 30 minutes, interview is another 30 + 30 min (at least 15 before and 15 after). Plan accordingly.

raib Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Could you please clarify what the 15 minutes before and after the interview is for? Thanks! It's to make sure the interviews run smoothly we will be escorting everyone to the interview rooms about 15 min ahead of time. And sometimes interviews run late, we try to keep it under 30 min, but we did allot 45 min for each interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will there be storage room to put away some clothes and shoes?-----I'm from out of province and may have to change into interview outfit when I arrive. Will this be a problem? For the tour, is it mostly for the dental building? Or the whole campus, which means lots of outside walking? Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowWhite Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 The tours will just be for the dental school. So just indoor. We will have hangers for coats, I believe. But no specific storage room. Maybe you could hang your stuff with your coat. And I don't think there is an issue with going on tours on Sunday (if your interview is saturday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sometimes interviews run late, we try to keep it under 30 min, but we did allot 45 min for each interview. Does that mean we will be sitting in the room waiting for the interviewers to come in, or will the interviewers already be there? Thanks for answering our questions by the way.

HopefulDent2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 How long do the tours run? Also, could someone give insight on the interview room set up? Will there be a table, small room, big room? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
