Thank U RKD ... honestly to answer ur question I wud not b able to completely satisfy u.. I know for sure that NY allows licensure with AEGD..I also know that 5-6 other states also allow this..but U'll have to check with ADA for the complete list. Sorry !!! 🙁

Does anybody knows,

• Is Eastman interviewing everybody who applied to the program? or its a limited number which has been selected by the review committe?
• How many people being interviewed per day?

Yesteryears there were 20-25/day so if they are interviewing for four days upto 100 people being short listed.I guess whoever from that list started calling after August got an early interview date and all the earlier slots were already taken before Ms.Fine sent out the email (its just my guess)...since I got the email after hours and called first thing in the morning...ended up gettin date for the last date too.

Good Luck to everyone...

I got email from Mona Fine advising to schedule appointment for the four days they are conducting interviews. Emailed back to request for the first available...was told slots been filled out already and than gave me a slot for the last day.

Hey Guys,

I have a question regarding the Recommendation letter. DO they require to fill out the form or they are accepting the sealed copy of recommendation letter.

I was told they should come directly from the person filling them and if I'm planning on delivering them to them - they should be sealed.

So I got that email on the 17th, and immediately requested to get a spot for Nov 9th, since Im currently in Argentina at a post grad program. I wont be able to make it before that. She gave me a spot for Nov. 9th, as per requested. I'm not sure if date of interview reflects on the application itself, thats quite dumb. Interviews are the strength. According t them, this year only qualified applicants will get interviews. I guess one has to get the big guns and bedazzle them in 15 mins.

Good luck all.

 

[Smiles Forever]

The impression I got from talkin to the residents at the program...they have a little separate research/CD/clinical program... where they tend to take the people who have more experience in research. People with Phds, MPh etc.

the day I received their email for scheduling an interview , I requested for the first day but rather got the 26th oct one. I don't know whether the applicants are screened for interview this time, if they are , it's better!

 

[happylife]

I got the interview email too, called them up and they said this year they are trying to interview as many as posible. So I think maybe almost everyone got the interview email.

SDN Friends,

I got Interview for Oct. 5, 10 AM. This is my second interview, first one was on Oct 2008. At that time I got accepted into the program but could not move from Ecuador to Rochester.

My advise:
1. Be your self
2. Search in the web for "Common Dental Interview Questions" they are very helpful to prepare your answers. All the questions that I got were in the web.
3. This year not everybody is getting an interview. I have 5 friends that are residents now and are very close with Mona, in 2008 they interviewed like 400 dentist and only have 8 spaces, in 2009 almost 600 applicants. This year they are selecting who they want to interview. (This is what I have been told by the residents and it is in the letter we all got thru email)
4. They try to select a group of diverse background
5. If you have experience in surgery and research that is a good point

Hope to meet the ones that are going to be there on Oct 5.

regards

I wonder how much having an Alien card helps with the admission. They all say it doesn't count but when I had applied to AEGD in Boston I was specifically asked about it. and I asked it doesn't says in the requirements why would anybody ask me about it at this time. I was told it does make difference. It was Boston ...wonder whats with Eastman?

 

[3rdorder]

anyone who had attanded the interview before can throw some light on the hotels/motels near rochester dental center.
thanks!

 

[Smiles Forever]

Wonder if I'm the program director what would I like to see in a resident who I'm selecting to be over here with me for next two years.

My best friend is at EDC at this moment as a resident, he has a regular student visa. Eastman does not require a US or resident status.

 

[implant10]

I got an email saying all the dates are full.its a first come first serve basis..if any openings come she will let me know...Then why they send interview dates?🙁

 

[Smiles Forever]

They should have enough slots if they ever shortlisted the applicants. Sounds strange when they say all interview dates already taken.

 

[Smiles Forever]

I would like my resident alteast in the interview to be,
-energetic.
-confident.
-reliable.
-experienced.
-pleasant & least fussy.
-know what they are talking about.
-able to cop up with situations on their own.
-able to communicate & deliver.

. Smiles,

The interview is very short so you better have your answers ready.
The Questions I got on my first interview:
1.- What do you think that makes you different from other candidates?
2. How do you see your self in 5 years?
3. What other schools have you applied?
4. What are the areas you feel you have the most strength?

My advice, after you answer all the questions close the interview with a brief message, this will make them remind you, just make sure it is a good message.

When did u last applied for the program?

-Do u get interviewed by more than one doctor?
-Do they inerview in a panel or separately?

Yes, U of Rochester is an ADA accredited University, and yes, once you end the 2 yr AEGD program you are eligible for the Boards. The only bad news is that the deadline was August 01 for the program starting in 2011 and all the interviews dates are full!!!

Good Luck!!!

Dear friends,

I have a question. I applied to rochester and my application reached there on aug 23. From the post I can see that all the interview dates at rochester are already full. Does that mean that I do not stand any chance to get interviewed at Rochester. I am worried, I called in office also but they did not pick up the call. I will appreciate if somebody had an insight and could answer my question.

Thank you.

I feel u r unlucky in a sense that the deadline is sept 1st....and when I went in to submit my application I was told to wait till sept 1st to hear from them....there will be a committee which will review applicants and than interview will be sent out for the short listed ones... apparently they never waited even until the deadline to start calling for interviews. and yes its true all the slots have already been filled.
