*****Official PASS 2026 Endodontic Residency Interviews/Information***

Members don't see this ad.

Been snooping on here for a while but I just wanna say that if it weren’t for Dr. Darwin and his 1 on 1 online interview prep and mock interviews I would’ve never landed an acceptance, it was worth every penny. Your interview skills is your most important aspect of your application right now, and you should be EXTREMELY prepared for this. It took me two cycles and multiple botched interviews but I am naturally bad at interviews. You have to be the best interviewer out of the 9 other applicants on your interview day and it comes with practice practice practice and if you can, professional help with Dr. Darwin or someone similar to what he does.

you forgot to add #ad .

I promise you this kind of bs is not necessary. When you get an interview, they already like you. All they are trying to do is make sure you aren't a nutcase and they can pick a class that will work well together. Save your money.

If you check my older posts you’ll see I applied two cycles. Not trying to sell anything, just really thankful for the help I got getting into endo residency and wanted to give back to people who are stressing about interviews.

Yeah, getting the interview means they like you on paper, but most programs bring in 5-10x more people than they have spots for. So just not being a weirdo isn’t enough — you still gotta out-interview everyone else there that day.

Don't give the interview more than it's due. There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes that most candidates aren't privy to. Why/how else would programs send out invites within 2 weeks of the cycle opening?! Most applications aren't even complete by then!
One of the programs I interviewed at had 2 separate days of interviews and the candidates could pick which one they wanted to attend. After the first day was done, the program director didn't even bother showing up for the second day and called in sick! Obviously all the offers that were made were to candidates from the first day, and the crazy thing is they were made the morning of the second interview day!
I've seen total duds get in and incredible interviewees sit it out for another cycle. But sure, I get it - every opportunity matters and you might as well give it your all.
I still think it's unnecessary.

That’s why i think match is more fair! One day maybe endo will be in the match process!!

Has anyone gotten the Nebraska supplemental fee link?

 

[Milkteeth12]

Also I submitted my UTHSC photo May 25th and still have not gotten a supplemental fee link- should I email them again? I don’t want to feel like a bother but also want my application to be complete

[mainNXI]

Does anyone have info on what the Saint Louis University program is like? The website says the program requirements are conducted at both SLU and the Missouri School of Dentistry and Oral Health at A.T. Still?

 

[endofreaklol]

Anyone know if NYU is going to have multiple rounds or know how many interviews were sent out? I was excited about this program and I know they have large classes so I’m hoping that this is just the start…. Not sure how they got through applications so soon to decide who to interview even!

 

[2thAche22]

Did SLU have any secondary app? or was it just through PASS?

 

[EsteDentist]

Did anyone hear from Pitt?

 

[endo4life004]

@princeafrica is Ohio done with the invites? Your insights are really helpful and appreciated!

 

[mpadi]

Does anyone know if for UF we have to send undergraduates official transcripts?

 

[princeafrica]

No it’s not one and done. Interviews started going out this week yes but as the cycle goes more may be sent.

It still early. Once all these schools started sending interviews people tend to start shuffling and cancelling some interviews since they all tend to end up on the same dates/week

This is messed up on so many levels if it's actually true.

It’s in waves usually like 4

I am planning to apply next year for endo residency. I saw many programs require 3 letter of recommendations one from endodontist, one from employer/supervisor, one from dental school faculty member.
I graduated about 3 years and I did not keep up with them after the graduation. How did you ask for the letter? Is it have to be from endo faculty?

I applied last year after practicing for 5 years, so I understand where you’re coming from. I wasn’t sure how to go about asking faculty that I had lost touch with. I reached out directly to the Endo department chair where I went to school to 1-find out if I would be a competitive applicant 2- ask what I needed to do to bolster my app and 3- ask that very question, how do I approach and ask faculty to write a letter since it’s been 5 years. He immediately offered to write a letter and said that the other faculty that needed to write letters would be happy to help. I could be wrong but I think when faculty are in the positions they’re in, they are used to and expect to write letters, especially in Endo where it is not uncommon to practice GD for a few years prior to applying. I feel I had good relationships with the faculty in school but definitely had not kept in touch after graduation. Just my 2 cents.

I am applying this year after practicing for 5 years. Did you get in last year?

 

[endomojo]

Yeah I did, I applied to 20 programs I think. Interviewed at 3 and got into 1!

Congrats! How were your stats in dental school if you don’t mind me asking?

 

[endomojo]

Thank you, my stats really weren’t exceptional, ranked 45 out of 140, GPA was around 3.35 and I didn’t take the ADAT.

Stony brook invites went out today. 6/30&7/7 interview dates

Does Stony Brook only do one wave, or are there still chances? Cause I checked last year's post, and there is only one wave.

 

[Endopercha]

Anyone know if San Antonio sent invite ?

 

[Apexseeker]

Needing advice: I am a new grad and planning to work this year while applying to endo. What do you tell your employer/manager when you get interviews? Thanks!

My office knows I am taking off some time in July for whatever reason... I said: don't miss me, guys 😢 I g2g live my life. If you want to be smart about it, and the office doesn't know, say that you are taking a few days off for a trip to [insert city here]. Don't lie, also, they don't need to know any details to why you're visiting a city.

 

[endoherb]

No just one email. It’s two dates bc one date reserved for stony graduates

 

[endoherb]

It’s in waves usually like 4

And from I heard they usually take like 2-3 ppl from each round. And 2 years ago it was over zoom. Not sure abt last year

 

[Stanelz]

Any current residents here that would be willing to give you experiences on the school you attend. I am applying next year and creating my list of schools and would love to hear from you, thank you.
