[pigman5010]

Anyone knows if this year interviews will be done virtually or not?

 

[Hurricane2204]

Anyone knows if this year interviews will be done virtually or not?

For applicants that want to, some programs are offering virtual, with the caveat of not getting a facility tour or shadowing residents.

[Alpha Centauri]

How was the test if you don't mind sharing lol?

Day 1 I finished in 2 hours
Day 2 was trickier since clinical judgement.

[gangazi]

do most GPR programs sent "confirmation e-mail" for completed apps?
I've only heard back from 1 LOL

 

[MavsFan1990]

Has anyone received any interviews? I know we still may be a bit early

IMMEDIATE HELP NEEDED:
hey everyone, I applied for a specialty and now I am trying to apply to GPR programs. my LORs are focused more towards the specialty and I can't upload new once.
Is anybody here in a similar situation? any idea how to fix this or how it will affect the strength of my application for GPR programs?
any feedback is highly appreciated.
Thank you

I am in similar situation with same question and unfortunately could not find any answers however I am applying to AEGD

 

[Alpha Centauri]

Have you guys gotten emails back from any programs after submitting? How about asking for a 2x2 (or are we expected to reach out first)

 

[UVMGPR]

I am in similar situation with same question and unfortunately could not find any answers however I am applying to AEGD

1)I can only speak for myself, but letters of recommendation are just a piece of the puzzle. If they were specific to a specialty, I would not discount them, but use them the same as personal statement, transcript, etc to get a big picture of the candidate. My only caveat would be if your letter says "John Doe is ONLY good at endo and cant prep a tooth to save his life...." that probably wouldn't be great....

2) We don't EXPECT anyone who applies to reach out (except to submit required materials), but it does show interest if they do.

Only one program emailed me saying they received my app and asked for my 2x2. The other programs require NBDE scores, but I have not sent them yet.

 

[DATanimelover]

I applied to 10 GPR programs, yet no word of any. It's still early so I'm just waiting.

 

[dentaldreams2021]

Hey guys, for your GPR applications, where in ADEA PASS did you indicate/list the conferences you attended? For example, ADEA/ASDA national conferences, HackAThons, etc?

Thanks!

 

[keep2camel]

Do Program Directors have the ability to see where else we applied?

 

[UVMGPR]

Do Program Directors have the ability to see where else we applied?

not that I am aware of

 

[RaindropsOnRoses]

Same I have applied to 10 and no words yet....

 

[FlossyPossy7]

Got 1st interview invite today

 

[taraDNA]

Refreshing my email 1903813901209381283213 times a day for AEGD interview invites.

I applied to UTHSCSA, SA VA, Texas A&M, UF St. Pete and Orlando VA! Fingers crossed!

Good luck everyone!

 

[MavsFan1990]

Same! Unfortunately, it looks like this cycle is going a lot slower compared to last years

 

[everfwd]

Got an Email that this particular GPR will be sending invites out soon. The end of the email notes: " It is essential that we have a passport type photograph, your match code number and your DAT scores to attach to your application. If you have not already done so please send this material directly to __________ to my attention "

Question: I don't want to interpret that last line the wrong way but these definite means email it to them right?

Yeah, I got the exact email too. I just email them right back with the info that they've requested

No offense, but that’s a bad attitude. Application cycle isn’t even closed yet. Wait until end of November before you give up.

Do you guys think it's too late to apply to programs? I changed my mind and would actually like to pursue an AEGD.

Some programs have September deadlines, some October and November. I would check the individual deadlines for programs you're interested in since PASS doesn't close til 2021 i believe.

First interview at UTHSCSA virtual Oct 5

Congrats! I thought he said on the webinar he wasn't going to send invites out until after the first of October because he wanted to wait until after the deadline. Good luck!
