why is everyone so sure that the offers are coming today? They could come next week. Now I'm all nervous about the trip home tonight, when I'm sure I'll only be getting bills and flyers until Tuesday.

hey guys, i just rang the dentistry office, and asked when the interview offers were coming out. The lady actually got up me for asking!!!! She said that it was people like me who made the process take longer!
She said she had not even received that hard copies (of something) from acer, and that it takes about 2 weeks from the closing date to process.
Also, they are not coming out via email, they will be coming out via snail mail.

So a fair bit more waiting to do yet! Sad

AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh
haha its people like you that make the process slower!!! hahah
how can her receiving a phone call make the process longer???
Ok so they closed on the 31st so that makes it the 14th before they recieve it. then they have to process it and our interviews are in the first week of october. So that will give us aprox 1 week knotice
Great work acer
Why did they get them this time last year then??
Damn
Oh well another 2 weeks wait ...

Hey guys,

Just asking who received the email from Anne at USYD about the interviews. Apparently the last of the interview letters were sent today, and if you got an email from Anne, then you will also get a interview letter sent to you. So congrats to everyone who got an interview!

oh right! thats the way i think too ben, so im with you...its over in a month, until next year!

Im stressing out about the places too, i really want to get in, but im afraid ill screw up the interview
How do you say that you really want to be a dentist and convince the interviewers of that? Also, how would you reply to a question about research in dentistry?

I havent got my letter yet, hopefully tomorrow

well have you done any work experience???
the only way that i have to show them is the that ive done about 9 months work experience. also you have to know whats going on in the dental community. ie know people, and stuff thats going on ie current excting research. There is plenty out there you just have to look Oh and name dropping a few people involved in the faculty helps ( ie have done work experience with them )
hahah
so yeah i think if you are serious about it then they are going to know. I got so excited today hahah kinda lame its only an interview offer and by no means a guarenteed place.
Im scared that im going to choke hahah that would be the worst case scenario.

Hey guys,

Congrats on your interview offers. I've been trying so hard not to get excited that I didn't even check my email until this morning. I still haven't received the letter, but the email is a big, fat relief. All this waiting has been excruciating. Thankfully, only one month to go.

Oh, and gemma, are you also going for a med interview as well?
