Any Advices how to prepare for Orthodontics Interview?

 

[niko472]

Hey guys! Is there a thread for interview questions asked for orthodontics interviews like there was for dental school?
I was wondering if someone can reach otu to me for insight on how to prepare of UIC interview any advice would greatly be appreciated

UIC was a lot of research and ethics questions. Six rooms 15min each. Each room had 2-3 faculty, one room was just chilling with residents.

 

[smilecreator]

Hi everyone! I’m scheduled for the OHSU interview on Oct 13th, but hoping to swap for Oct 10th if anyone is open. Please DM me if interested — I’d be so appreciative! Best of luck to you all 🍀

Hello, does anyone have advice for NOVA interview?

Thank you so much this is so helpful 🙂

Hello, does anyone have advice for NOVA interview?

Sounds like both the Department Chair and Program director resigned last week, so might be different than previous years.

 

[ventiamericano]

Anyone with a 10/6 Michigan Interview date and can switch with my 10/13? Thank you so much.

I need advice! I got an interview from UoP and UF back to back days. Due to having to fly from coast to coast, I would have to miss one of the socials. Which social would you miss? Is this going to negatively impact my chances? Should I make them aware on why I will be missing the social?

 

[toothdoc_22]

Anyone hear from San Antonio?

 

[okroshka]

Anyone hear from Bronxcare or St. Barnabas?

 

[Mn93]

Any advice for BU(Boston) ortho interviews? I heard they usually ask lots of philosophical questions!!!🫠

Does anyone know what the stipend is for Albert Einstein? I know they offer one, but I cannot find any further information online.

Did anyone get this email from Columbia? Is it to all applicants? “Dear ___,
This email is to notify you that your Application - ORTHO969 has been selected and forwarded to the program's admissions committee for final review.

No further action is required at this time. You will be notified via email as your application goes through the next phase of the application cycle.”

Yes I believe it is a generic email once your application is considered complete and is then sent to be reviewed.

 

[bigdentalguy]

Where did you hear this information?

One of the residents mentioned that they are both taking some time off from the program.

I would choose UF because UF's program is dirt cheap. UoP is crazy expensive. Also, UF is 35 months (only 8 months longer than UoP) and would literally cost a fraction. You could basically graduate from orthodontic residency with no debt at UF.

Definitely have them know you’d be missing it because you’d be in another state. Also pick the social of the one you want to go to the most

Einstein made a call for 10/22

 

[thechipes]

You get the normal PGY1-3 salary. So I think around 70k or depending what it shows on their website. Every resident gets the same base salary

Approximately how many schools are there left that hasn't offered an interview yet?

 

[orthotoothfairy11]

Hey everyone! NSU did not mention a social; they just said to get there the day before to prepare for the interview. But last year they had a social. Are we just assuming they don't have a social this year unless they say otherwise?

 

[coasterboaster]

Hi! Is anyone willing to switch their SLU interview? Mines on Oct 14 and am desperately looking for Oct 15! Thank you so much!

Do most interviews come with an official tour of the school? Also, do applicants usually try to explore apartment/housing options to have an idea of the cost and when they need to sign or do they worry about that after match day to find apartments/housing?
