This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
does anyone know when we’re reapplying, do we have to request LORs and transcripts all over again or is there an option to transfer them over from last year?
You're gonna have to request them all over again unfortunately.
Or fortunately... you'd hope that an extra year of preparing and getting more experience that your LORs should improve
 
Does anyone know if there is a new thread for the upcoming cycle OR when the new thread will start?
 
Can anyone tell me anything about the University of Colorado's ortho program? Good program, bad program? How research heavy is it? Stipend? Just wanting to know more about it please!

I'd say good program, there's not really any con's that I have heard about it. Besides it being one of the more expensive programs.. around 75k per year (190k total). No stipend. Yes research is part of the program, I wouldn't say research heavy though. Each class is about 12 residents. Residents start around 40 cases each and you can get experience with different bracket systems, aligners, and a good chance you'll get experience doing surgical cases as well.
 
Can anyone tell me anything about Southern Illinois University Edwardsville's ortho program? I know it is non match and 2 years, but that's all I really know about it. Good program, bad program? How research heavy is it? Stipend? Just wanting to know more about it please!
