What do people think of bringing wife/husband to social?
Unfortunately, I don't think it'd be a good idea to bring a spouse to the social. Mainly since they'd be out of place and they themselves may feel somewhat uncomfortable being there as well. None of the interviews I went to had anyone bring their spouse. The degree to which it'd feel out of place would also depend on each social's setting (the ones in a more casual setting would be slightly more ok). I'd treat the social as a mini-interview in a relaxed setting.
 
Can anyone give an overview of what happens at the socials night?
Each school has their own way doing the social. Some have a dinner where all faculty and residents are present. Others only have residents present. Some schools have you meet at the venue (usually a restaurant), while others will start at the school with a small presentation followed by moving to the restaurant venue.

Is it normal to have an email from NOVA, (This is just a friendly reminder that your application to Nova Southeastern University’s Ortho & Dentofacial Orthopedic, Postdoctorate Certificate program is currently pending documentation before it can be sent for review.) even tho they already sent the interviews?

I got the same one, they told me it was an automatic email. I never got an interview though
 
During the socials, is it best to get to know the residents at a first-name basis and address them personally by their first name, or call them Dr. Whatever? Or does it just depend on the resident/program?

I would start by calling them Dr. Afterward, if he/she seems friendly you can address them by name. In the end, it really depends.

Hi guys! I'm looking for someone who is willing to swap interview dates for St. Louis. I'm on the Friday, Oct. 20th but am looking for a spot on Wednesday, Oct. 11th. If this works for anyone please let me know! Thanks 🙂
 
For schools that give multiple dates, is there any advantage/disadvantage to choosing a certain date over the other? Like the first date option vs the last?

I pick dates and times that give me enough time to fly to next interview places and avoid myself from getting more than one night of hotel stay.

However, I also give exceptions to places like Vegas. Maybe it's a good idea to spend a weekend there before my interview.

I would think that the reason they give you options is because they genuinely want to meet you and give you the best chance to be able to come. I wouldn't overthink it

Hi!! I'm looking for someone who is willing to swap interview dates for OHSU.

I'm on Oct. 20th and I'd like to switch it to Oct. 23rd.

If this works for anyone please let me know! Thank you 🙂
 
Irony, some people have so many interviews, some like me with just one, and some with none😜
Once people with overlapping interviews give up a few invites, other people will ride the second wave of invites!!
Or at least thats what im hoping for... with only 1 invite like you!

Right back atcha!
There are a lot of people in the same boat with only one, or no interviews at this point.
Stay positive! It only takes 1.
 
Anyone able to switch Buffalo? I am on the 16th but need the 13th. Willing to provide fair compensation for any booked light/lodging.
