With as few spots as there are, it honestly probably helps weed out the people that actually want to go to their program 🤷♂️I really feel for everyone dealing with conflicting interview schedules. I know this isn’t the place to rant, but I really wish, after all these years of interviewing applicants, the programs could’ve worked together as a team to create a better schedule for everyone.
Like, if schools in the Southeast had their interviews on back-to-back days, then moved to the North, Central, and then West, we could’ve saved money on flights and not had to miss out on opportunities we’ve all worked so hard for.
this is not only challenging for us but also programs are missing out on meeting some students they might have really liked.
Regardless, I hope we all get to attend our top choices. thank you for coming to my ted talk. best of luck to everyone
I can also cover switching expenses if needed!I am also looking for someone willing to switch their Michigan interview on the 7th with mine on the 14th!
It can be frustrating but it's also probably useful for programs to weed out uninterested applicants. If that program isn't your preferred program on one single interview date, you almost certainly aren't going to rank that program very highly on your final rank list of all programs. Thus the program avoids interviewing and ranking someone to match that doesn't plan to rank the program highly.I really feel for everyone dealing with conflicting interview schedules.

Thank you for this <3Reminder, all it takes is one! Good luck to everyone.
Hey!Hey all, I haven't heard back from the programs I've applied to. Does anyone know if reaching out to the director of the program I'm really interested in at this point will change anything?
Have you heard anything from UMSOD?Can someone clarify if they know: Does UMSOD offer a Master's degree in addition to ortho certificate? I know they require you to do a research thesis, but I couldn't find any info on master's
For programs that invite applicants to interview via phone call- do they typically call everyone the same day/time? Or do they call over a few days?
