Looking up all these programs/requirements on their own websites, AAPD, and ADEA, and any other place google brings up is horrrrrrrible....

I see some conflicting information for Stony Brook. Looks like some sites say they require "copy of diploma" now and other say its after acceptance. Also I SWEAR I saw that they listed a $100 supplemental fee but I cant find it now and nobody answers their phone, haha.

Anybody with any information?

for Stony Brook - diploma after acceptance (because if you graduate in 2022 you won't have a diploma before acceptance... No supplemental fee.

CONGRATS!!
 
Children’s National (DC): email sent 10/26, interviews 11/11 and 11/15.
 
For those interviewing at Denver Health, I'm a little confused about all the emails from today. Can we go to any of the Q&A sessions with the residents, or do we have to go to all of them? They also said that there will be a 15-20 minute Q and A during the individual interview.... I assume they're just talking about a normal interview?
 
Hey guys ,, silly question...but for the virtual interview agreements for langone, did you guys print , sign ,scan and email ? Having a boomer moment right now lol

I’m pretty confused about it as well. What I understood from it was that there’s a specific time during the day of our interview where we meet with the interns for a Q&A and that the interview itself consists of two portions. The first portion is 15-20 minutes where the faculty ask us questions and we have 3 minutes to respond to each question. Then there’s an open time for discussion. Not sure why we were invited to all the Q&A sessions or why they have different time allotments.

Thanks so much. That's what I was thinking as well. I was going to go to the Q & A session that was the day before my interview but I guess I'll go to the one on the same day as my interview to be safe. Good luck in this cycle!

Has anyone heard good/bad things about Tufts' program?
Click to expand...
Yes, can someone elaborate on this one. It seems pretty similar to the NYU program. Not too much OR time. Less freedom, a lot of over shadowing, but I could be wrong, that was just from one resident.

Tufts Pros: No call, pretty straightforward 9-5 days, boards review

Has anyone heard anything about BU?

Hi, I’m a 1st year peds resident, and I wanted to drop some words of encouragement and tips for you all.

If you applied this cycle and got many interviews, if you applied this cycle and got no interviews at all, if you are a reapplicant, if you applied early, if you applied late, if you feel anxious, nervous, excited about what this cycle will hold…I’m proud of you.

Every feeling you have is validated. I want to encourage you to think about the moments that lead up to the interview cycle. This is about more than just a single interview or application. This is a culmination of all your efforts across many years. You are spectacular, and I am really proud of you.

It may be hard to hear now, but if youre worried about not matching, the *worst* that could happen is that you create an even better app, get invites to even more programs, and get to attend one of your top choices. No matter one, don’t lose hope, there are kids out there that you will impact so profoundly, they will never forget you.

What ive seen among the applicants that I coach is that no one is having a “bad” interview per se, but given how challenging it is to match, I remind applicants its not enough to have just a good interview, you want to have a great interview--one that is memorable and leaves a lasting impact. That’s how you can ensure when the program goes to deliberate, you are at the top of their minds. To those of you who are interviewing, I've listed a few of my coaching tips:
  • When asked “Why this program?” Its not enough to just list what the program has to offer. Further your answers by expressing how what a program offers aligns with your mission, goals or values. This is how you help programs understand that you will be a good match for them. The very reason you enjoy a program may be the very reason someone is not interested in a program, but creating the link between yourself and the program paints the picture of you actually being there in the future.
  • Defend. Your. Answers. I often remind applicants, you are stranger to the people interviewing you. Sure, they read your application, but those are just words. Defend your answers by providing interviewers specific examples of whatever skill or quality you express. I remind applicants providing a long list of traits is not memorable nor impactful. Imagine someone on the street walking up to you and saying “I’m compassionate, generous, welcoming, hard working, determined…” it would be hard to believe all of that because you have no context. Now, if they explain to you using specific examples, essentially defending their answers, these qualities begin to have more meaning to them.
  • Ask compelling questions. Applicants I work with will often ask me if its okay to ask a program “How can the program be improved, whats the best part of this program, what type of experiences are residents getting” etc. And again, these are not bad questions. In fact, theyre fundamental. But because they are fundamental, interviewers already a pre-programmed response ready to go. Now when you ask compelling questions, you challenge the person interviewing you to think a little bit longer. This helps make this time more memorable. Think about how you feel when you walk right out of an exam. You hardly remember the questions that you could recall the answers to immediately. What you do remember however are the questions that made you think a little bit longer. This is no different in the interview.
BREATHE! You are well equipped for a future in pediatric dentistry. If not now, then later. There is enough space for all us here, and I welcome you whole heartedly to the best specialty there is. Perhaps Im biased 😆 I wish you all the very best!
 
Good morning, all!

I am a second year pediatric dental resident at Baylor/Texas A&M.

I wanted to reach out and let you all know that we are planning on calling about interview invitations this upcoming Monday - Nov. 1st.

Additionally, we are planning on doing IN PERSON INTERVIEWS on December 1 & December 3!

Hang in there!
