Just getting ready for a week from now. It'll be interesting to see where everyone ends up at. Let us all know...
antidentite said:received my e-mail at 9:14 eastern time. matched first choice! good luck to everyone!
grtuck said:Got my result at 9:15.
Going to UNC 🙂
Yeah!
Good luck everyone,
Gary
cuneatus2 said:What about Scott?
antidentite said:WOW! according to the match site that just opened up.....there are two ortho spots that did not fill this year. both at UNC?!?!?! what is going on. whoever didn't match needs to get on that!
griffin04 said:That's exactly what I thought! Of all the places to go unfilled, both at UNC? I guess that means they didn't rank enough people because the ones they did rank ended up elsewhere.
griffin04 said:I MATCHED!!!!! FINALLY!!!!
griffin04 said:3 years of applying, 3 years of stress ....
19 interviews later.... (over the course of 3 years)
2 years of rejection....
I MATCHED!!!!! FINALLY!!!!
I'm going to Vanderbilt.
Holy smokes! I still can't believe it! I'm trying to get over the fact that I will not have to do General Dentistry for the rest of my life! NO MORE ROOT CANALS!
Congrats to everyone else who matched! I'll be seeing you at the ortho meetings!
And your first choice was...???antidentite said:received my e-mail at 9:14 eastern time. matched at first choice! good luck to everyone!

S Files said:any other unmatched positions aside from UNC???
cuneatus2 said:There was one other program with 1 unmatched spot, but they requested to not be put on the match website. If you go to the match site and check out the statistics page they explain this. So, out of 255 match positions, apparently 252 were filled.
S Files said:called UNC...they said it was a mistake. not sure what to make of that. hmmmm i guess the other program we'll never know 🙂 maybe i'll harass a few in my state.

jpollei said:That said, IMO I'd bet that they will use the two "chairs" to accept the next two highest ranking students from their list who are not already matched. Just a guess, though.
GatorDMD said:3 from UNC are going UNC? 😕
jpollei said:Um, maybe 4...that said, something like 7 of the top 10 on UNC's rank list were non-UNC applicants who went elsewhere (per the match stats, etc.) So at least no one can say UNC only takes their own if the majority were non-UNC'ers...seems many applicants just chose to go elsewhere this year.
But enough about UNC seats on this thread. Where else is everyone all going?

dentalgent06 said:had 97 boards average, top of class, research, teaching/volunteer stuff, went to prestigous undergrad, applied to over 20 programs, only got 4 interviews, none at what you others call 'top tier', got great vibes from the residents at the gatherings and even had faculty interviewing me give great feedback..i am not 'socially awkward' by any means......got in NO WHERE. I almost feel as if the programs led me on.
So to all you who matched....jpollei, and your UNC friends, what were your board scores? what do you think set you apart? And if you dont mind me asking, how old are the people you know that have matched? Im barely 25 and feel like that was seen as immature compared to some of the late 20's/early 30's married folks I encountered on my interviews.
why does it seem like only UNC students got in or are you guys the only ones on his site?

Tough act to follow. We shall see Jan 31
dentalgent06 said:gatordude, do those figures include the UF students that applied for ortho and are at UF doing a 1 year fellowship, or are those from the D4 class only?
GatorDMD said:all 4th years... co 2006. dont know about fellows? 😕
dentalgent06 said:WOW...10% of the class got into ortho.....that seems like alot from one school
