Do interview invites from a particular program always go out on the same day? Holding out hope that the only one applied for (lsu) will somehow still make contact.
To my knowledge Nova and maybe Oklahoma are the only schools that send out multiple invites. But there's still time between now and the interview date so don't give up just yet!

Is there a particular reason you applied to LSU only? If you don't mind me asking

Been practicing close to ten years and have a family with four young kids. Lsu is only commutable school so we don't have to uproot our kids.
 
Was last year a faster process in terms of sending invitations? I wonder what’s the hold up..

Nope, pretty much moving at exactly the same pace as last year. You can see that last year, the 11th school to send out invites was on 9/8 and then in mid September thats when things really started to blow up.

We are getting there folks! It’s like the uphill before the drop on a rollercoaster.

If you get offered an interview and can't make it in person (due to not being in the country), is there an offer of a virtual interview, does anyone know?

It depends on the program! Some offer but not all schools provide optional zoom interview
 
For those who are interviewing at tufts, did y’all get an email other than the confirmation email we got on the 2nd?

Did anyone else receive an email from CTOR saying they need to send in a supplemental application and fee? I mailed in my supplemental and the fee back in August but I am not sure if this is just an automated email sent to everyone..

Do Orthodontic Internships help with applying to all programs or just the program the internship is at? Can they hurt your chances at all programs in any way?
 
Albert Einstein in PA just called for interview on October 12th w/ social on the 11th.
 
If a program rejects you do they tell you or is everyone just ghosting people now? I keep hearing of people getting interviews but I've heard nothing. Not sure if these programs keep sending out invites on a rolling basis or if it's a one and done invite.
 
Please copy and paste the running list, otherwise interview updates will get lost in the forum.

Most programs send it out all at once
 
St. Barnabas Bronx, New York, sent email for interview October 12th and non-mandatory social on the 11th.

Most programs will ghost. If you see that invites were sent out and you did not get one, you will most likely not hear from that program at all.
