Yes. And 1-year GPRs. And LOTS of experienced (3-9years) dentists getting stiffed. Of course, there's programs that specifically ONLY interview people with that kind of experience but far too many didn't.
how do you know this?
There are definitely schools that prefer younger residents. Me, personally, I was wary of those because they're either big research schools (I'm not a research person nor interested in academia) or they didn't have enough patients so a new grad taking 4-8 hours per tooth matched their patient flow.
Which program just wants passion and not so much grades? Asking for… a friend.
It would be nice to have statistics on it to see how much of a trend it really is.
Is public health experience better than private practice? I don’t think it matters!
In last year's cycle, they sent interview invites in November, so I wouldn't expect any earlier than late October.
would it be worth doing a masters in public health as a gp?
& I think it just a better reflection of the population type you would be seeing at the majority if not all the endo residency programs.
I heard a couple of people got in.
I noticed that. and acceptance in jan or feb per some replies on SDN BUT not 100% sure if that is correct!
That’s my attitude towards it too, not much else is worth spending a whole other year waiting to apply to residency again, time is money
Of course yes !! 🤣
because they do at least two rounds of interviews - one in november and then one in december. and then they take about a month to make their decision lol
I would recommend checking with programs individually to explain your situation. You can offer to have your recommenders send them updated letters directly since I don't think PASS will let you change letters.
. How low are the chances of getting in at this point? I can't imagine anyone dropping out. I have colleagues urging me to keep calling and bugging the program but I don't see how that would help my chances either.Got waitlisted at NYU a month ago
Penn’s offers have been sent
As far as I know and felt: Some of the schools take a look at ADAT. Most of schools they don’t care. You might need to check with the school program coordinator if possible. At least their websites.
Studying is barely part of residency. Pathology and pharmacology are the only classes you need to actually study for and it pales in comparison to actual dental school. Like you may study for a couple weeks total if you combine all the courses. You read a ton, but anyone can do that. I would say it’s more a reflection of your overall app. Like experiences, recs, personality, etc. Your numbers sound fine. Could be higher but not a deterrent. What have you done besides practice for 10 years that shows you are committed to endo?
just my opinion: I would not re take it. What is your GPA ?? How many schools you applied to ??
Your ADAT is good enough. Most schools don't even care for it. I agree with AAdentist - GPA is a big one.
My GPA as 3.41. The past two years I have been a member of the aae. I went to fall 2023 Insights meeting, and the annual meeting this spring. I did a table presentation at the aae meeting.
You scored higher than me, I wouldn't retake it.
No, sounds like you are doing everything you need to be doing. You’ve basing practicing for a while. Doing more root canals is not what they’re interested in. It’s honestly just really hard right now. So many experience GP’s and qualified dental students are trying to specialize. It’s little things that can separate you. Like Redchesus said, have you met any directors or visited any programs? I’d try to get my name out there. Get someone to vouch for you. You’d be surprised how many programs will pass up good candidates on paper for a name that someone (current/ or old residents) just vouch for.
They were sent in early August
Anything is possible in my opinion!! people might drop off last minute, visa issues and accepted at another programs (still waiting on case), and maybe Canadian applicants.
