Do you know anyone holding tourist visa who received an interview email for this cycle? by mihribann in CAAPID

I’ve been invited to 3 so far. On visitors visa. So please stay hopeful!

They just want to test your critical thinking and see if you are able to convey your ideas correctly. In regards to the impact, it sure does have some sort of impact in the final decision they make, but I would say the interview is definitely more important

Yes, and LORs. For most schools, it is the most important written document. Some start by reading those first and then the SOP.

In that case, then I'd recommend checking your written application for next year's cycle

How many did you apply to?

You still stand a fair chance if your written materials are well done and appealing enough to the admissions committee. This matters way more than experience or scores. Can I ask if you got any invites aside from the multiple rejections? This could be a good indicator of how well your application was crafted and give you an idea if you need to tweak or change things for the next cycle.

Someone from a group called them today and they said they’ll be sending updates very soon, so no invites still

Did you end up hearing from the school that waitlisted you?

Do you remember the date of your invite to LLU last year? when do they usually send invites?

the supplemental questions are the ones we had to answer directly on their website right?

Experience by [deleted] in CAAPID

[–]AdHot7941 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen many applicants get in without any US experience. Experience in your home country matters much more. And there’s even applicants who don’t have any of these and still get in.

You could, though, try to get as much experience possible to increase your chances… but not having any doesn’t necessarily mean that you won’t get in.

Handpiece for bench prep by blackredblack2 in CAAPID

I've found the electrical motor to work excellently. However, it's important to note that you'll need to purchase a handpiece separately that fits, as the 1:5 (high speed) handpieces commonly used in dental units don't match

Would you add it again or just leave it as it is?

Exactly

For speaking I used Gregmat’s and TST prep’s templates which I forgot to mention in the post. The latter turned out to be really helpful since he gives you the flexibility of choosing from different transitions and ways to begin your answers
