It’s number 24 on the compiled list! The social is the night before the interview date, so the 18th in this case.

What are the pros and cons of hospital vs university based programs?

Hospital programs:
Pros: cost because they are GME funded

Cons: somehow my friend, whose father owns a very successful practice, tells me to not to apply to these GME programs like Bronx, Medstar, Maimo and Montefiore.

University (dental school) programs:
Pros: best for private practice and academia

Cons: Cost

I didn't get to ask him. If I knew the reasons, I would have already shared them in my previous post.

And also another friend of mine told me to not to apply to these GME programs. Both went to 2 year, very cheap or almost free, and very highly respected university programs

Has anybody who interviewed at Colorado University heard back from them yet?

I haven't heard anything either. I'm thinking that either nobody has heard back yet or the school instructed admitted applicants not to reveal their admission for some reason.
 
Can someone tell me more about socials night? What are the kind of conversations happening with the residents? Should you be prepared for anything well in advance?
 
Hi guys, I am kindly asking again: if one of you can please change their 10/25 Montefiore interview with my 10/27 interview I would be eternally grateful. Thank you!

You meet in a place, where there are some snacks/drinks alcoholic/non-alcoholic. There are residents, some faculty, other interviewees
people wear nice clothes, not too casual, not very professional.
You just talk to others and the residents, and ask questions about the program, be pleasant, friendly, don't be obnoxious, don't exclude others.
Try to be social even if you are a shy person. I bet the residents will have a say who they like too.
so it's unofficial part of the interview, so don't say silly stuff you'll regret later.
I found arriving 5 mins earlier make you get to know others better, arriving on time, and later, makes you more exlcuded from conversations because everyone by then have already introduced themselves and got to know each others better.
 
What should you wear to the resident socials? They say to dress casually, but I really don't know if jeans are the way to go..?

I would not wear jeans. At the social I went to people were still dressed professionally, some in blazers!
My friend in residency told me business casual (think cardigan, button up, blouse).

Some people can pull dark jeans pants if they wear a blazer on top with nice shirt that matching in colors.
But I am afraid jeans will give traditional people the message that you don't care that much.
This is for social.
At the end of the day.. wear what makes you confident and comfortable!

For guys, I would recommend chinos for pants since they are more formal but still business casual; then add a collared shirt which can be as casual as you want (can be a solid color, patterned, colorful, etc). Jeans typically just are a little too casual but a nice pair of dark jeans are still relatively acceptable.
 
Do you think the interviewers take the “numbers” into consideration once the interviews are done? In other words, the documents are already reviewed to send out the interview invites, but will they look at the documents again with the interview results? What are your thoughts?

Yes
 
Question regarding Match and Non Match.

Do non match schools like Rochester send interview calls to those who had registered for Match?
 
Last year Maimo sent October 8th..
Maybe they sent already?
