never did an extern/internship at UTSA and only did a virtual interview. haven't heard confirmation of the no stipend thing. at the interview, they said they're still figuring out logistics and would let us know as they learn more.
I asked during the interview, he said pretty much no stipend, but they're learning more as to any type of compensation.

Btw did you hear back yet?

Is applying to 18 programs overkill?
Depends on your stats, letters, and all that good stuff. Also someone that applied to 10 VA hospitals which only take 3-4 ppl vs someone applying to 3 programs that take 10-20 ppl.
 
For non match programs, do they typically send acceptances before their deadline / complete all their interview days? Or is it customary to wait until after deadline / all interviews are done before filling up seats

Usually after all interviews they start offering immediately (with usually not much time to spare), and offer down the list til all spots are accepted

EDIT: List of preferred applicants (most likely ranked)

Oh I read that as after each interview. So essentially if the last interview is say early December and a program has been interviewing since September, anyone with an interview stands a chance and wont get screwed since they didn't have an early interview?

I cant speak on behalf of all programs but your statement is correct.
Alot of it comes down to personality and good culture fit with the program at the interview stage.

Hey, I'm sorry for all the questions but did you ask him or did he just tell you?

He told the whole interview group that day that. For people who interview after that date or for those not in the 6 that get the non-match positions, there will be 5 spots left in the match process.
 
Anyone heard about:
UT Nashville AEGD interviews?
U of Virginia GPR acceptances?
 
Anyone who originally planned on putting VA as their top choice reconsidering?

Pre covid certainly you'd get way more experience, especially with money not really being an object for the pts so complex tx often accepted. However, as someone mentioned in this thread with covid VA dental has been impaired.

Just my 2 cents, but I'm a practicing dentist and we get A TON of these VA vouchers aka pts who the VA is referring to outside practices to get their tx plans completed because they don't know when they'll be open to them again...or maybe they're just seeing very select cases. Im not sure if this is everywhere but in my area of Texas it is happening and we are getting a huge influx of VA pts in the civilian world. Just wanted to give insight in what I've been experiencing if it helps anyone.

I think it depends on the VA from what I can tell based on where I've interviewed. Some are still only seeing non-elective patients, some are at about 60% capacity on patients but just making it work by having longer appointment times and doing more for one patient each day than seeing multiple patients (since the VA is limiting the number of patients they see), and some are at 100% production seeing patients and just as busy as always. So I think the decision needs to come down to what the program is actually doing.

I just accepted the Gainesville FL VA this morning.

From what I can tell they are back to full speed ahead. Crowns and endo has been a concern according to the residents HOWEVER if at the current rate of patient flow stays consistent it should be back to par. Only in the past month has patient flow been ramping up. Resident also said she has placed 4 implants so far with more to come.

FWIW many New York programs are slow as well, some at full capacity others barely seeing patients. COVID really screwed us all this year but hopefully by the time we start in another 7 months time all should be better

Also one of the highlights. Similar staff numbers to other programs I applied to with only 4 residents as opposed to 10-25. More one on one help with surgeries and complex procedures, also have full time lab technician to teach you lab work and actually understand biologic and physiological process of occlusion. Couldn't be happier to be there next year

Congrats on UF VA! Is that Shands? I grew up in FL and had 2 sisters go to UF for undergrad. Im a UCF knight tho lol
 
With the November deadlines coming up does anyone think it makes sense to apply to a couple more programs to increase odds or is it too late and basically throwing money away?

I've applied to 10-11 programs and have 3 interviews so far.

Any advice? Thanks in advance
