endodontic residency 2021 application

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hi. So I'm not sure anyone can answer this with a high level of certainty but I looked back to my experience last year to hopefully give you some helpful information with a historical context. Remember, this was last year and a lot changes from year to year so it really is anyone's guess.

Last Year, I received a bulk of my interview invites mid July (July 7-July 16th) and received my last interview invite on July 29.

I remember from my time researching these threads CWRU can reach out as late as early Fall (September maybe?) for an interview invite. I did not get invited to CWRU so I can't say when they sent out the invites last year.

I guess this is a long way of saying if you don't hear anything by august it may not be looking good.

I Hope this helps remove some uncertainty for some. Good luck all. try to stay patient.

Thanks for the update! It's good to remember that we're closer to the beginning than the end, even with interviews starting to get released.

Thank you. This is reassuring. I’m sure this is stressful to everyone as well.

NYU Langone invite via email for 7/15 or 7/16. Brooklyn site. finally something!
 
For those who have had interviews, what was your experience?

It was fine. Like regular interview just on zoom. Similar questions like tell me about yourself. I wanna get to know you. 2 people in history you would talk to. Bringing 2 books on an island which ones? Was fine until I realized I didn't get in because they gave calls yesterday.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Hope you get in somewhere!

Thanks for sharing your experience. May I ask where did you do this interview?
 
Does anyone know if Tufts give second round of interviews?
 
Hi guys how important is the institution evaluation form for the application. ? I submitted everything else on time but didn’t receive that due to CoVid. Any inputs? Thanks

I submitted my PASS application and checks the day it opened, but my IEF wasn’t submitted until weeks after. A friend also submitted the day it opened but with the IEF and got his “application complete and under review” emails weeks before I did. My guess is it does make a difference. Have you given your dean a gentle push? I had to send quite a few follow up emails
 
For those of you who got NYU Langone-Brooklyn, has Klementyna confirmed your interview time/date yet?

Did anyone receive an email from Penn to say they have received/reviewing their application? One of my friends has applied there but hasn't heard anything since submitting his application

I received an email from them on 5/27 stating "Your application is complete and will be reviewed by the graduate dental program's Admissions Committee in the coming weeks."

It’s likely very important. I don’t think most programs would consider reviewing your application without one, but that’s just my guess. I have not met anyone who did not submit an IE and received an interview but maybe someone is here on SDN who has.
Sorry to hear you haven’t received your IE yet.

I spoke to a program co-ordinator about this at a program that does not participate in PASS. They said that it would not interfere with interview selection, as quite a few applicants were having this issue. Hope that helps

Its possible that the programs that dont participate in PASS won't let it affect your application much however I think its imperative for PASS. I struggled with getting my dean to submit mine too. But unless it was in, all my applications were showing 'received' but not 'complete'. Except one program, no one cashed my check before the IEF was submitted and I doubt anyone even looked at my app until then. Ofcourse, this is just my experience. Maybe others have had a different experience. I would really push your dean or their office to submit it ASAP. Despite COVID, they have the duty to do official work for their grads or alumni. You must relay to them that its highly important for you to get it in soon otherwise there's no point.
Hope this gets resolved for you @idream09

So institutional letter is getting delayed due to closure during covid. Can schools download application without it or will it consider incomplete until it get submitted? this situation is eating me alive. 🙁
i was tasking to myself the same question... My school is extraaaaa slow for the institutional letter.
Does anyone have the answer to that question?
 
did you every get an email saying application was complete or had to make a application fee payment? I applied but never heard from them.

thanks!
They don't have an application fee. And I didn't hear from them until a phone call yesterday
 
Hi all, I have a question about the PASS application. In the "Check Status" section, under the transcript section for your dental school, does it say "Arrived" or does it say something else? Thank you!
 
I interviewed at UoP and UW coming right out of school, and didn't receive any invites 2 years into private practice. Feels bad, man :-(
