Maybe I'm getting into the weeds here, but I would love some insight. I normally have a beard, but should I have a clean shave for interviews?

 

[future_endo]

Got a completion email from Maryland today. Did anyone receive an invite from them yet?

I haven't shaved my beard in 10 years. I'd say as long as it is neat and trimmed, as it should be naturally for a professional look, you should be fine.

 

[FutureDent020]

Is UNC really in that big of a funk ?

Even a residency in a funk is fine. If it even is in a funk. Most programs go through ups and downs. Constant change in faculty and PD/ Chairs. Biggest thing with UNC is it’s 3 years. That’s not necessary for endo. So unless you don’t care about 3 years or want 3 years for a masters or extra training, then I’d look elsewhere.

 

[DrGrillzzz]

Is UNC really in that big of a funk ?

Another factor is that the Dean of UNC‘s dental school recently transitioned to another dental program that’s opening up in North Carolina, and he took on the Dean role there. When he left, a good handful of faculty left with him. So it’s a bit unstable with the faculty.

University of Maryland interviews will be August 8 and 9. PD will looking at completed apps July 1. Also program is 26 months now.

Signed,
Out going resident 😂

I shaved mine but I saw people at my interview, that had a beard.

 

[Dentalfixer]

I know this been said a lot of times, for those fortunate to get an invite, be social but not annoying. Interact with the residents, usually they get asked about candidates. Be humble, as far as I heard, no one wants a Hermione in the program. If you have done a lot of root canals and know your way through a 1st upper molar, you don’t need to be at the interview.
Good luck to everyone and congratulations to those accepted!!

 

[Endo Goat]

Do you guys think saying that I didn’t take adat (even thought I did and didn’t do well) will be caught some how? And what would u do it you were in my shoes ?

If you didn’t put it the application, there is no way to know, plus, they won’t ask you.

Yeah she’s not unreasonable. She’s also terribly busy lol

20 years of experience. 30 publications. Endodontist in another country. Related to riccuci by blood

I bet 20 years of experience is frowned upon now.

PGY-2 at UIC. I have a beard and my 2 male co-residents have beards. A beard might increase your odds.

That program has an interim director and has had multiple directors over the past 5-10 years so it's gonna be a crapshoot

It's the truth? MUSC is a great school and Charleston is a wonderful city, but it's no secret that program has had its issues

When they offered you an interview, did they leave you a voicemail not mentioning the interview? I received a call and a voicemail saying to call them back and that was all. Did not receive an email. I tried calling them back but have not heard anything.

 

[Mo K]

Is anyone aware if the university of Alabama at Birmingham started sending invites?

Missed call, called right back. No email yet they said it would come later.

 

[dentalnerd.me]

Literally just here to tell everyone I’m a current resident at UNMC and our program director on multiple occasions has stated loudly in our resident room that she is not even looking at applicants coming out of dental school. So don’t waste your money if you’re a D4.

 

[predentstudent23]

If anyone has interviewed at BU or MUSC before, please message me! Thank you!

 

[Endo Residency]

Has anyone received any emails from the University of Southern California aside from the fee receipt email?
And is it a good program?

 

[redchesus]

And is it a good program?

High tuition and large class (like 8 or more per class I think). But the residents I've met from there seem happy.

 

[WannabeEndo]

Has anyone received any emails from the University of Southern California aside from the fee receipt email?

Nothin yet, last year they sent out interviews mid July so I’d say wait a bit longer

Better luck next cycle

 

[Symphonies]

What do people think about BU's program?

 

[Dentalfixer]

What do people think about BU's program?

Extremely high tuition, large class and three years. If is the only option, I’d take it, if not, I’d go somewhere else

 

[WannabeEndo]

Extremely high tuition, large class and three years. If is the only option, I’d take it, if not, I’d go somewhere else

don’t they have a 2 year option too?

 

[Endo Residency]

Is there any chance that Iowa or saint louis or Louisville send other invitations?

 

[redchesus]

don’t they have a 2 year option too?

Not me but I've had 2 friends go through their interview process.
The 2-year option is more popular for obvious reasons. Both my friends applied to the 2-year option but got "We don't have any more space in the 2-year program, but we will accept you into our 3-year program"
So be prepared for that.

 

[FutureDent020]

Is there any chance that Iowa or saint louis or Louisville send other invitations?

So many variables. But yes, of course. Won’t be many though. Sometimes if they are interviewing 9-12 candidates for several spots, if people drop out they won’t add more. Sometimes they will. Sometimes they will bring you in at a later custom date if they have had their interview and still need to fill spots. No set of rules. Sometimes they have already accepted a resident before the interview date and you’ll never know. Wild West baby.

[WannabeEndo]

How do they accept a resident before the interview date?

Gotta know the right people I’d imagine

 

[FutureDent020]

How do they accept a resident before the interview date?

Call you in for a private interview before the actual interview date. Or yea, they can verbally promise you a spot if you know them personally. Now that verbal promise doesn’t necessarily come through. So take that with a grain of salt. I personally know examples of all the above.

 

[redchesus]

How do they accept a resident before the interview date?

This has happened. In my case, it was someone the PD knows really well, was wanting to do Endo from the first year of dental school and basically spent all their free time in Graduate Endodontics so all their letters of rec came from endodontic faculty WITHIN the post-graduate program. Basically a shoe-in once they apply, since they were being be interviewed by people who wrote their LORs.

You could be interviewing with someone who's basically already gotten in and not know it (this was me, didn't find out until residency started). Luckily, my PD keeps this to one slot per year, and he doesn't do it every year, they have to be an exceptional dental student. He doesn't want the reputation of the program only accepting their own graduates, which would mean fewer applicants applying.

 

[Mo K]

Any feedbacks from the University of Alabama at Birmingham?

 

[WannabeEndo]

Is a 2 year 100k per yr endodontic program worth it? Looking at you Nova and UDM

Any program is worth it if you can get in imo. No point spending a year to reapply for more schools for no guarantees if you really want to do endo. 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

[Mary1984]

Has anyone received an invitation from either USC or Loma Linda?
