That sounds amazing, it sounds like a really good program, if it’s worth it to you, then it’s worth it! Did you also get scientific questions? Like was it stuff you knew off the top of your head or did you study?

Wow 15 mins? I have schools saying it’s going to go from 8am to 3pm, I hope it’s shorter! Thank you for sharing! Really appreciate it.
Well, they mentioned that they might do an in-person interview later on, but I still havent heard more about that.

They asked me questions about dental materials and treatment planning.... They basically wanted me to tell them everything I knew about that topic...did you get the same?
I didn’t get a confirmation but they cashed it out early July.
My first interview is actually on Friday, I’ll update y’all on how it goes!

Iowa sent out an email invitation for in-person interviews but the following day cancelled them due to covid restrictions in come states. They will be making their decisions based off of the preliminary 15 min interview.
When did you interview and when did you get the email for the in person?
I had my Zoom interview on 08/07 and heard from them this past Monday.

Nope, I haven’t heard anything from them
Hi Guys!! I applied to 13 Prosthodontics programs this year.
I already received invitation to interview from these:
-Boston University (they do not participate in match)
-Harvard School of Dental Medicine
-Marquette
-University of Lousville
Hoping more interviews coming soon...
BTW, did anyone apply to North Carolina, Alabama, Maryland or NOVA??? Any invitations to interview?

The same thing happened to me. BU already interviewed me, and they will complete the interviews and send offers to candidates in about 3 weeks (first batch) then the next batch. Basically, if they offer you a position, you have one week to take the decisiton to either accept the program or take the risk to go to match. If you accept the offer you have to withdraw your rank from match.
I feel my interview went really well, and now I am worry that I am stuck in a super expensive program. At the same time I am nervous to take the risk to go to match and then don't match. BU costs are super high. I didn't consider my finantial status when I applied. I just wanted to take all my chances.
Congrats! I applied to Maryland and got an invitation for 09/17. When do you interview with Marquette?

I got an invitation call from Maryland almost two weeks ago. Nothing from UNC though. Is Harvard done sending out interviews?

Misslee,
This is a tough decision but you may want to ask yourself if BU is somewhere you would be happy to attend. In my opinion, there is a position available somewhere for all of us. It just comes down to finding the right fit. BU has certainly put you in a predicament, but if it is not high on your ranks already, I would think twice about withdrawing from the match. The BU residency position is also 4 years, so worst-case scenario, you reject BU and go unmatched. Would you be prepared to go through the application cycle once more and gain experience in private practice? You would not really lose a year in this sense assuming you would match to a program in the second cycle. Nevertheless, it is a tough situation but thankfully, one that you do not yet have to ponder.
Kill the interviews everyone!
I don't think they are done yet. They gave me three options to choose. I chose September 21st, but I haven't received confirmation from them yet.
Dear Shahed,
Thank you SO much for you kind advice. I totally agreed with you! it is not even high on my rank. I needed to read this from someone else. BTW, it is a three year program with the option to add a fourth year (Master). It not mandatory though. Their average cost for the three year program is 260K TO 280K without including personal and living expenses. I mean, is it really worthy?

MissLee,
You are correct! I assumed most applicants are after the MSD as well since that is the case with me but I suppose it can easily be a 3-year program as well. If BU is not high on your rank, then perhaps it is wise to hold out. Judging by your remaining interviews, I would say that you are most likely a competitive applicant that will do well with the match!
I really appreciate your feedback. THANKS!
September 3rd, yours? Good luck!!
September 2nd! And you too!

I did. It was like an hour and half with the director, some faculty, residents and staff. It was more of them telling me about the program and I was actually the one who asked the questions. But in general no tough questions or anything like that. Just relax and you will be fine.
Good luck!

Seems like tuition required programs tell you about their cost... if they dont bring it up, I would bring it up at the end.
AMAZING, congratulations on your interviews!! May I ask, how many programs did you apply to?
I applied to 8 schools! And I’ve heard back from 4
Ohhh!! I thought you have 14 interviews hahaha! Good luck with all of them
Oh no! We’ve been updating the list so everyone can know what schools have sent out invites, if you have the time you can add any invites you’ve gotten to the list to keep everyone on thesame page! Thank you and good luck with yours as well!

Nothing from Tufts, Georgia, UNC, San Francisco or Rochester?
UNC said they're still reviewing applications as of this morning. Others I'm not sure. Has anyone heard from UCLA, Washington, or Columbia?

they were previously pre-informed so you had time to prepare. I just interviewed and there was no such presentation. there was a batch of interviewees with me, and there are multiple interview dates for San Antonio

Can you please share with us what was the interview like. Were there questions about the field of Prostho or was it just questions to get to know you and things of that sort?
