Do dental schools send rejection letters?

Perfect School Search

Answer:

Yes, they do. After completing your application, the American Dental Education Association's Associated American Dental Schools Application Service (ADEA AADSAS) sends them to the respective schools of your choice. Here, the documents are set under review by the institution. The dental schools review each of the candidates' applications thoroughly to find out the individuals that meet their selection criteria. If you happen to satisfy these requirements, you become shortlisted and are invited for an interview. This interview is often done to get to know you on a personal level. The admissions officers want to interact with you in person to ascertain that the person depicted in the application documents is the same as the actual person. Some applicants do not make it to the interview phase, and for these, the rejection is often communicated right away. Others make it to the interview phase but displease the admissions officer, leading to a rejection. They tend to receive a rejection letter in a short while as well. Some times, the admissions committee of a school could decide to put you on a waitlist instead of rejecting you as they think about what yo do with your application.
