This is actually a great topic to discuss. For those of us who are applying multiple times, does the fact that you interviewed the year before at a program effect your chances of getting another interview the following year. And if so, what did you do to improve your application? Anyone have experience with this?

I got an interview with Minnesota for a second year now. I did improve my application with lots of endo CEs, AAE conference participation, and additional letter of recommendation but I think the most helpful thing was staying in contact with the director of the program throughout the year.

That’s amazing! What did you do to stay in touch with the director exactly? What did you discuss/ reach out about throughout the year?

What section of the app do you put CE you've done, and conferences you've attended? Extracurricular activities? Or Dental Experience?

In the ADEA PASS Help page it says Dental Experience means "Both paid and unpaid work in a dental field where you were directly responsible for a patient's care" which doesn't sound like CE...

Programs send invites on a Sunday??

It probably came straight from Myers and he or any PD will work as much or little has he/ she needs to since they runs the show. Only one or 2 people are looking at your applications and deciding if you get an interview. Once you interview a handful of others will play a part in a committee deciding your acceptance. So yea, the process can be pretty unpredictable.

If you take the ADAT twice, does score report for both show on application?
Do PD’s care if multiple attempts were done or just care if it is a good score on retake?
Thank you

How many applicants are usually invited for an interview?

Depends on the program and how many residents they take. USC and Boston are going to interview a lot more than Einstein. Typical 3 seat programs will interview probably 9-12.

I have no clue about the ADAT. I have never heard it mentioned once. I don’t think they would care about multiple takes though. I honestly don’t know why some care about it at all. I’ve said it before, I swear it’s to reduce the amount of applications they have to look through. Another box they make you check so you hesitate before adding the school to your list or don’t add it at all. Just my opinion though…

Anybody with a BU interview on the 19th would like to swap with the 12th?

Thanks!

I followed up via emails. The first email was a follow up to my interview last year to see what I could have done to be more competitive next time around (since I didn't get in). While they won't give specifics and offer more general suggestions, I knew I needed some more endodontic related experiences as I really had none.
As I made progress with CEs I would follow up occasionally to let them know what I was working towards. I think just the fact of contacting them to show I was still interested in their program was what was most important. Also, they will likely remember you as an applicant when they pull your file for review due to maintaining a line of communication.

There is a great book called the proximity principle by Ken Coleman that everyone should read when considering what direct to go to find pourpose in your career...as well as how to get there once you decide.

Seems like it's split. Some programs still doing virtual while others are doing it in person. Read back on this thread, I think some people have posted in this group if their interview is online or in person.

Yep, about half of mine are virtual and half in person. Seems like the southern schools are in person interviews. I had some that gave either option too.

Congrats to everyone scoring interviews. To those who haven’t heard anything as of yet don’t lose hope. It’s not over until it’s over! Peace and Blessings!

Ya it's stressful for sure! I applied to way more schools this round, improved my application, and actually have less interview so far 😢 lol.

I'm sure everyone here is qualified and would make a great endodontist! Hopefully someone gives us all a shot to prove it 🤙🏻
