I’m still looking for someone with an Oklahoma interview 11/5 to switch for my spot on 10/22. I’m more than willing to compensate for travel plan changes!

Hello! Would anyone with a Maryland interview on 10/20 be able to switch with me on 10/21? I will compensate for changed travel plans! Pretty please!
 
For anyone interviewing at Loma Linda University: I am currently scheduled for Tuesday, October 19th and would like to interview on October 18th. If you are able to switch, please DM me. Best of luck to you all.

Same argument can be made for any of the for profit schools. Jacksonville, Colorado, Roseman, Seton Hill, Georgia, and the new CTOR. Save your money

Atleast some of those schools have a case to attend though. Jacksonville is a 2 year program, Colorado is the only ortho program in the state so the patient pool is there, Seton hill only has 7-8 residents per class and is relatively cheap (30 month program), and Roseman is in a city with 2x the population than SLU and has fewer residents than they do.

GSO shares the state with Augusta and has 36 residents PER CLASS. They're a completely different beast than the rest of the for-profit programs.

It's clear this school is one of the most expensive, if not the most. I agree the tuition increase has gotten out of hand. But "don't waste your time"? I disagree here. If you really desire to be an orthodontist, then you'll find a way. In my opinion, the Georgia school as well as the other for profit schools mentioned give applicants who are very qualified but not necessarily in the top of their class, the opportunity to become an orthodontist. Now whether or not your desire to be an orthodontist equals/out weighs the tuition cost, that decision is up to you.

How much is tuition at Georgia?

Is SLU considered a "bad" program?
 
Hi
Looking for anyone willing to change interview date at BU. Mine is 11/01

There is going to be a social? That would be great! I did not see it mentioned on the schedule they sent via email.

Hmm nevermind maybe I assumed there would be one but perhaps there is not!
 
willing to compensate anyone who can switch interview at BU 11/1
Thank you
 
Does anyone have strategies or recommendations about ranking schools? For example, interviewing at school where after the interview you definitely felt the program was not a good fit for you or for your intentions after graduating? How much does it affect your chances of not matching if you don't rank a place where you interviewed?

Residents say to rank the schools based on how you liked them not on how well you *think* you did. Some programs are very hard on ALL candidates and some are super nice to ALL candidates.

Also, heard recommendation that you should rank all the schools you interviewed at.

I'll give you the perspective of a current 1st year resident. Now that I'm at a program, I've realized there's a few things that jump out as "very important" when looking for a program.

1. Two year vs three year. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of school and being in a 2 year program is such an asset. I can already say that I'm almost 1/4 of the way done and I don't lose the extra year of opportunity cost. Knowing this gives me a boost mentally. Opinions vary on this, but I'm very pro 2-year programs.

2. Presence of chairside assistants and a front office at the residency. Making calls to patients is tiring, dealing with logistics is tiring, setting up and tearing down an operatory is tiring, and having to constantly de-glove to grab instruments during an appointment is tiring. Go to a residency that takes care of these things for you so that you can focus on what you're there for: treatment planning, diagnosis, patient management, and orthodontic hand skills. It's gonna be the same way in private practice, so why not start now?

3. Cost. I personally believe the path to happiness after residency involves eventually owning a practice. Buying out a practice takes a lot of money and it can be intimidating enough if you're leaving dental school & residency with 500k+ of debt. If you're choosing between a cheap 3 year program vs a pricey 2 year program, tack on an extra 200k to the 3 year program because that's what it's costing you to stay in school for another year

4. Openness of the program director and faculty. Ortho residency is all about asking questions and learning on the fly. You want to be in an environment where you're comfortable asking questions even if they seem stupid. If you start getting the vibe that the program director or faculty have a "my way or the highway" type of attitude, stay away. There's so many ways to practice orthodontics, don't put yourself in an environment that indoctrinates you with just one philosophy

5. Social compatibility with the residents at the program/culture at the program. Once you're in residency, the competition should be gone. If that competition is still present in ortho residency, that's a problem, in my opinion.


Obviously not ranking a school will lower your chances, and I'd personally rather go to an ortho program and become an orthodontist than not become an orthodontist at all
 
Do people hear back for their thank you note? I know the admissions are probably too buzy and it does not impact the eventual result anyway I have been feeling low after the interview..

I’ve gotten about 50% of replies to my thank you notes, and the ones i’ve received were pretty much a basic general response they send out to everyone. I really don’t think a response (or lack of) means anything about how they ranked you

I have generally gotten responses from the chief resident if they were part of the interview process and at least one faculty member, usually the program director. Responses are pretty general and short.
