Yes, you can apply for licensure via residency if you're doing a GPR or AEGD but for Ortho, you have to take either WREB/ADEX

Depends on the program. Actually many programs don’t have a licensure requirement during the residency. Now when you graduate from that, well that’s a whole different story so might as well get a licensing exam out of the way while your in school and have the patients.

1. I have an email from Chloe at UAB stating "The submission of the DAT is not required."

2. For Bronxcare this was the response i got when I asked about the 5 things they request. "Applicants must mail the supplemental application with the 2x2 picture. Also, contact the ADA, give them my email address and they will email me the board scores. The rest will be retrieved from PASS."

3. Howard is interesting, it only asks for it on the PASS search engine site, and yet the very top says no more photo or supplemental app submission.

From my research if you did the gre...MAYBE...send to bronxcare and Howard just in case.

Just wanted to update to say that Howard doesn't need DAT. I got an app complete email today and never sent in my DAT score

Ah I’ve been anxious also. I just want to know if I’m getting any interviews or not!! 3 deadlines have passed and no word yet.

Exactly my thoughts. I keep wondering if I'm the only one who hasn't received an interview call yet!
Patience patience patience!
Also, other programs, especially perio have sent out theirs
 
I know it is hard not to, but I wouldn't get too worked up just yet about not hearing anything. Looking at past ortho threads, most schools don't start sending out invites until this upcoming week, with most coming the second week of September. Just because the deadline is past for some programs, they still have to meet and rank applicants before sending invites. Not to mention, most programs had to recently scramble to figure out how to start this year's residents (and may have gotten late starts), so I think it is reasonable to expect some invites might come out later than usual while they turn their attention to figuring out the best way to interview applicants. Keep in mind, with many programs doing virtual interviews, they will have to find a format to make their program stand out from the others, which is no easy task.
All that said, I still have been checking my email way too frequently...
 
Testing times! I received an email requesting for additional documentations on 27 August. I am sure the universities are making their best efforts in reviewing all applications. They will need to make alternative arrangements accordingly. May we all embrace the anticipation of each and every opportunity that is bound to come our way. Best wishes.

We will all get interviews and get into great programs. As @OrthoDennn said, patience is key! We got this!
 
Case western sent me an application complete email today. I turned the application in back in mid June so it seems they dont touch the applications until the deadline. I’m assuming some of the other quiet schools are doing something similar
 
I received application complete email from all the school I applied to pretty soon after submitting the application. Though Case Western wasn't among them.

Thank you! Yes, they did email me when my application was complete.

In general, it's a good idea to follow-up with programs a couple of weeks after you submit everything - I did, and for many programs I received a faster response regarding my app being complete vs. waiting for the program to contact you. Gives you peace of mind - apparently, a few programs may not let you know that you're missing something unless you ask... Best of luck!

Do you mind sharing your profile?
 
Is there a rejection email for people who do not receive interview invitations?

Most programs either don't send rejection emails, or wait until after match is over to send them. The best way to figure out if you're not getting an interview is to check if that school has sent out its interviews or not - unlike dental school, ortho residency programs tend to only send out interview offers in a single wave (though there are a few exceptions to this). So if you see a thread like this get updated with the program having sent out interviews and you didn't receive anything, it's usually safe to assume you got passed over.

Interesting, sounds like the invites shouldn’t be too far away! If anyone becomes program director one day, please keep all eager applicants in the loop

Congrats! I just received an invite as well! However, my interview dates were 10/4 or 10/14. Out of curiosity, did you get a chance to Zoom one of their TARP meetings before hand?
In the email, it said they are preparing videos of faculty, the campus, the program director, etc. that we can watch before at our own pace. Seems like they’re adapting well to our new “virtual reality”
 
Do you guys know whether schools often send out invites at once or in separate batches?

They send them all at once. However, when more schools start offering interviews, the dates overlap, so applicants start turning down some schools. Then the school will sometimes invite the next person on the list...doesn't happen that much though. And with this year being virtual, I am pretty sure there will be barely any since you could probably do multiple interviews in a day i would suspect. If thats possible, it is my assumption then that there may be more post match spots available because of people being available for most their interviews.

Congratulations to everyone so far.

Hey all,

I’m curious if any of you know or have heard how many interviews you should have to have a decent shot of acceptance? Obviously you “only need one”, but I would feel pretty good with 5/6.
 
hello everyone, thank you for this wonderful thread you started. I would like to add that Loma Linda has sent out interview invitations and they will be taking place on Oct 5-6

Oh wow, I wasn't aware schools let you know on the weekend!
 
Does anyone know what is needed for Bronxcare’s supplemental application? I don’t see anything other than the 2x2 photo requirement. Is there a application fee or secondary that needs to be completed?

Supplemental application form on their website plus 2x2 photo need to be directly mailed to them.

Thanks! I don’t see the supplemental application form. Is it the one that’s listed under the post-match section? Did you include original letters of recommendation in addition to the ones on PASS?

Yes to your first question and no to your second! I got an app complete so you don't need to send anything besides the two things I mentioned.
 
do all of you applying have research experience/publications?
 
For anyone applying to Columbia, did you send official NBDE Part 1 scores directly to the school in addition to the "official" score you sent to PASS? I sent an email to them to confirm, but haven't received a reply yet. Thanks!

You do not need to. However you have to send them your GRE score directly. They send two app complete emails (one more general, one saying they are reviewing your application now).

I only heard from them once (they asked that I email my 2x2) but haven’t heard from them since! When did you receive your second email saying that they are reviewing applications?

Hello everyone 🙂
I am new to this Forum.
I want to ask, have anyone heard from UPENN, Ohio state university, University of Buffalo regarding interviews?
