What is everyone's opinion on small vs. large classes?
Pros and cons to both but with a larger class you're exposed to more cases through coresidents and case presentations, so I guess you learn more. I think clinical experience is about the same in most schools with a decent reputation, it's the extra learning you do outside of your clinic time/patients that will help in treatment planning and case analysis. I would prefer bigger class size.What is everyone's opinion on small vs. large classes?

who is they?R they still sending out interview calls?
who is they?
Schools in general I am still waiting for a call I guesswho is they?
Im unsure to be honest, I am sure there are still some schools that may invite soon, but there really isn't a way for us applicants to knowSchools in general I am still waiting for a call I guess
I got the same email, but mine says completed and ready to review. I also got an email stating it was completed weeks ago. Call them, but I was under the impression that they were done interviewing and had already extended their offers. I had emailed them a little while back and they said July 27 was the only announced interview date, but maybe that has changed.I received an email from UOP to check the status of my application and to check the documents received or if something is missing They gave me student Id and log in But when I log in instead of the list of documents all I see a x mark What does that really mean ? I am so confused does that mean they have not received any documents or application is rejected but I have nothing stating it's rejected Anyone has any idea?
Did u log in using student Id and DOB When I did to see if all documents are received I only see a red x mark and that is it I did receive an email while back stating my application is complete If they have filled there class why they messing with us just tell us thanks for applying good luckI got the same email, but mine says completed and ready to review.

Sometimes the office handling the applications is the "general graduate studies office", who doesn't know that the endo department is already done. I think most schools still want to keep applications completed and on the side in case there are last minute withdrawals from accepted candidates. I know several people who got into endo in April/May this way.Did u log in using student Id and DOB When I did to see if all documents are received I only see a red x mark and that is it I did receive an email while back stating my application is complete If they have filled there class why they messing with us just tell us thanks for applying good luck
Dr Suture is right it's handled by graduate admissions in general not the Endo department specifically and is standard procedure. I agree with MidwestOwl in that I'm pretty sure they are done interviewing, but why don't you call with your concern?Did u log in using student Id and DOB When I did to see if all documents are received I only see a red x mark and that is it I did receive an email while back stating my application is complete If they have filled there class why they messing with us just tell us thanks for applying good luck
I didI have some questions for those (if any) that applied in their D3 year. Did anyone apply at the end of D3 year so I can PM you?
Not many if any required it this year. I think maybe one or two. Even if it said they did, if you contacted them personally they would say it's looked upon but not required. However, many program directors at my interviews said next year they would require it. Not sure if it's true.Of those of you who got offers this cycle, how many of you took the ADAT? Did the school you got into require it? Want to gauge how serious they are taking his exam as of now
Congrats, you will be in a great city and schoolcolumbia just offered me a position guy, at least i have some where to go...
Serious Question
For those that got in or plan on applying to a non-paying endo program, how do you plan on financing your education? Not to sound nosy, but do you plan on having family help with some or all of the cost of attendance? I took out full loans to get my DMD, I can't imagine staking on another 200k + opportunity cost to my existing loans, even if my income goes up as a specialist. It's a different ball game if it's a salary paying program.
Just wanted to get your thoughts. All the people I've met along the way who have applied or who are in endo programs don't seemed worried about the high price tag of residency. Is it because they have family who foot the bill? I'd like to know if taking out $700-800k in student loans to become an endodontist (or orthodontist, periodontist, prosthodontist) is the norm.
That doesn't mean you can be less qualified and get in just because you're a female. I know female applicants that did not get offers.also being a female helps, at least 2 directors told me that they are actively looking for female residents. For some reason, so many male endo residents and interviewees
Is UPenn filled?
Any luck?I applied to 15 schools and even did observership in two of them. NYU I did observership last week for cpl of days.They had one round of interview so far so I am still hoping to get an interview
Things have been awfully quiet...
I think the cycle is basically over...

Got and Invite to Buffalo August 14th, 15th (email), anybody have any information on the program?
Hello everyone, congratulations on your interviews and acceptances.
I am a 2014 grad and am looking forward to applying for endo residency. I understand private practice experience is preferred but would an AEGD PLUS PRACTICE exp make an application more favorable?
