Endodontic Residency Interviews 2020

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
By what date is my application early, and by what date should I be worried that my application is getting late? I submitted and paid for my ADEA PASS applications on May 23. I had all of my documents submitted and received but my school did not submit the Dean's letter until June 15, even though I requested it the first-day PASS opened on May 15. Now I am still waiting for my final PEF, which should be submitted any day now. Should I be worried?
If your full app is not submitted/ completed right now, I WOULD have said it is late. But, if people are receiving interviews without PASS being completely submitted/ completed then it’s obviously not a problem. Majority of 1st round interviews should be sent out in the next 3 weeks. SLU, UW, IOWA, TEXASes are always early. Indiana was definitely not this early last year and I am not sure about UNC. But schools can change their approach every year. Some schools are also going through Director changes right now, so they may be a little more unpredictable with their timing

Appreciate your insight!

Speaking of UW or Iowa, has anyone heard anything?

UPenn sent out emails regarding completed applications, but I haven’t heard any interview action yet.
 
I think the schools are able to do a preliminary review of your application even when it is incomplete. My transcripts havn't uploaded yet but already got a few interview invites, so hopefully you aren't missing out on anything.

Did you already complete the supplemental applications for those schools that invited you?

Nothing yet from Iowa or UW. Both programs said interviews will be mid July though
 
Yeah got email from Tufts today. Application not complete. They need the DAT. Meanwhile I sent them the DAT early May.
I didn’t see anywhere that they need the DAT. Do you just submit directly to them the DAT scores??
 
Stole the list from the previous thread, so sorry if there are mistakes. This makes it easier to find dates a little quicker than reading through all the comments as dates are added.

I was perusing previous years... it seems like interviews have been a bit slower this cycle... or I’m just anxious.

This period of late june/early July is certainly nerve racking. I dont think there's a pattern. On one hand, some programs are a bit "late" on invitations...on the other hand UNC is interviewing on July 1st

Lets keep a running list of interview dates. As you get them please update the list with the date(s) of the interview, and how you got the invite (phone or email).
Any invitations for University of Tennessee Health Science Center?

UTHSC very recently got a new chair and program director. Normally they interview early-mid July. But probably best to consider them a "question mark" for now.

Due to unforseen and unfortunate circumstances, I was not able to officially complete my entire application on PASS until July 20 (all supplementals were finished by the end of June). I completed my part of the application by May 16. Do you think my chances for this cycle have been greatly diminished? I was thinking of adding more schools to increase my chances of interview/acceptance but would it be even worth the money at this point?
