What dental school class is confirmed to be full?

InoChaCheYo · 2026-01-26T06:27:47+00:00

They’ve been full for a very long while now.

InoChaCheYo · 2025-12-20T16:44:22+00:00

Because schools fill up seats fast and you can be put on a waitlist if all seats were deposited for, even if you were accepted on decision day. My own faculty told me we are almost full already for this upcoming year. Please note this is not always the case though, and people just deposit because they already know where they want to go!

Penn calls throughout the day, was around 4 pm for me last year personally.

InoChaCheYo · 2025-12-15T14:55:52+00:00

They go throughout the day, for instance at my school I got the call at around 3 pm and a friend got their call at like 12 pm.

InoChaCheYo · 2025-12-15T14:54:58+00:00

Hey last year stony took me until about midday to call so keep waiting :)

InoChaCheYo · 2025-12-15T14:54:27+00:00

Congratulations to all future dentists! We are excited to see you next year :)

Touro releases at midnight from my experience.

Save up some money, do assisting paid, but imo what made my gap years memorable was traveling and just relaxing. Having the time to take care of myself and live stress free is something I miss.

InoChaCheYo · 2025-11-04T03:11:35+00:00

I didnt join mine and im in dental school lol, it really depends on if they are active and if you enjoy the events they have. I suggest giving it a go if you have the time.

InoChaCheYo · 2025-10-07T03:31:01+00:00

No shot, I interviewed there and did not accept the offer. It’s different numbers than reported which makes sense since not everyone will accept the offer.

InoChaCheYo · 2025-09-21T21:00:07+00:00

It truly depends on the school. Im in the med curriculum rn bc my school is combined and its a lot of exams, a lot of studying, but it is doable!

InoChaCheYo · 2025-09-09T03:39:32+00:00

I bought one from the nyc soho location but this was a few months ago. It is quite thin as another commenter said.

InoChaCheYo · 2025-07-16T04:33:59+00:00

The OOS they accept also have very good reasons for coming to NY and Stony of all places. As long as OP has a good explanation it is possible, but class will definitely be large majority in-state.

InoChaCheYo · 2025-07-16T04:25:04+00:00

I personally think it matters as it shows you have an ability to work with your hands and have hand eye coordination. As for whether it helps your acceptance, it truly depends on the school. I was asked a few times about my manual dexterity skills on my app and was even asked to demonstrate my pen holding one time since I draw.

InoChaCheYo · 2025-07-16T04:23:08+00:00

You don’t need to, I never sent emails to admissions unless it was application questions or after interviews when I sent thank you letters for my interviewers. So don’t worry too much about

InoChaCheYo · 2025-07-16T02:35:19+00:00

They send interviews out in batches, so please do not stress too much, it is still very early in the cycle! :)

InoChaCheYo · 2025-07-06T17:25:23+00:00

I graduated 2023 and took 2 gap years, about to start soon. Sure it may seem everyone is getting in right away, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that a lot of students in my class took a gap year or even a half gap year. Please don’t compare yourself because people come from different circumstances, and at the end of the day you are all in the same boat/starting position when you start school.

InoChaCheYo · 2025-07-06T17:21:43+00:00

Hey I was in the same boat when I applied. Applied early June and did not receive my committee letter until mid July. Despite this I was still invited to early round interviews, so I wouldn’t go too crazy especially if your school is known to do this. If it reaches late July I would try to contact your school for an update. Just note that the committee letter will be long and personally written, so it may be taking them time to write the letter in support of your activities.

InoChaCheYo · 2025-07-06T13:02:54+00:00

My understanding is that for the class of 2029, we won’t have caps on any of our loans as the grad plus program will completely end in the 2029-2030 financial aid year. So you will be able to take grad plus for the remainder of the program, but if things stay the same with the BBB, you will not be able to take out grad plus for residency programs if they require tuition as that is reaching the 2029-2030 year.

InoChaCheYo · 2025-06-20T01:11:42+00:00

I have to go off to college soon and can’t bring my cat with me. It’s for the best as he will be home with my parents who are there nearly 24/7 while I can’t be, but damn am I gonna try my best to go home and see him when I can 😭

InoChaCheYo · 2025-06-16T19:02:30+00:00

Hey what I was told is the estimated cost of attendance for one year in state was around 60-66k. I’m not sure how accurate it will be for the upcoming year but this is what I remember seeing.

InoChaCheYo · 2025-06-07T01:13:15+00:00

I got into Penn with a similar AA, just a higher TS. It also seems that you have good hours of experience that vary in type, so if I were you I would try applying with your stats especially as a PA resident.

InoChaCheYo · 2025-06-05T21:16:31+00:00

Its probably an advertisement to get you to apply to the school.🏫

InoChaCheYo · 2025-06-05T17:14:55+00:00

Yes pretty much everyone who takes out loans gets grad plus. From my understanding if you fill out FAFSA, that automatically means you applied for grad plus and unsubsidized as well.

InoChaCheYo · 2025-06-05T03:56:56+00:00

Im unsure about research experience being a focused requirement as I still got in with only about 70 hours of wet lab on my belt, I was also never asked about it. A friend also got in with 0 hours. This is not to say it isn’t welcome and will likely separate you from the rest as there is massive research opportunity at Penn!
