does anyone know if Texas A&M only pick from Texas residents? their supplemental application makes it sound like it and I dont want to waste my money if so lol
I applied to 9 programs.
I know their dental school prefers texas residents but I don't think that is the case for endo. Their resident class is pretty diverse regionally.
They do not. Very few programs function that way. It’s not like dental school.
and which school are those that do if you dont mind me asking.

Eh, can’t really generalize certain schools as “Homer” schools since they will switch it up year after year, but I’ve seen Florida admit a good number of Florida residents, same with Iowa and Tennessee. But everyone switches it up. If you are competitive you have a chance at any program as long as you stand out to the chair.
- Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine I heard takes mostly alumni, but I could be wrong. Not a lot of information.
Newer program but half the class 2 years ago were out of state.
Programs don't really have a preference. Some schools may look like they have in state preference but it's also just the nature of the process. Dental students and residents have way more opportunity to network and in that department than someone who doesn't go there. So the PD and faculty know those people more than someone they interview for a day
I applied to 10 schools, 2 interviews, 1 acceptance. Good luck this cycle!!
I waited, but I know some people submit before they got them

I graduated a while ago. I applied last year. ADEA still has my official dental school transcript. Do I need to request a new one, or will programs be like "Oh this person graduated in 20__ and so obviously a transcript from 2024 will show no difference"?
Also, are they still requesting NBDE scores or not anymore? TIA!
Also, are they still requesting NBDE scores or not anymore? TIA!
If your transcript is shown as “arrived” you’re all good. No need to get a new one. You may have to send NBDE scores again, if they were not uploaded/saved as a re-applicant.

Hi! Can I ask what the pro vs cons would be to submit your application if you’re still waiting on an LOR? Unfortunately sometime they take a little longer and everything else is ready to submit.
I’d just submit and get everything else processed and just keep reminding the person to submit the LOR. The programs can actually view your application once it is submitted. Some may wait until everything is completely on whereas others may start deciding who they want to interview if the rest of the app is great.
Don’t panic — no programs have sent out interview invitations yet.
I’m just posting the programs that have publicly released their interview dates (via the ADEA PASS Program Finder or their official websites). These programs are not bolded yet.
Once we (hopefully including me!) start receiving invites, we’ll update the list by:
This way we can all track things easily and consistently. Good luck everyone — let’s keep each other updated!

I've waited for a week for my IEF. At this point, I've submitted my application. fingers crossed.
You can find most of these information online.. but LSU is very cheap and Indiana is pretty expensive
Nope… you will be too late in the cycle
Thank you very much

Anyone got a link from NYU regarding fee application after PASS submission???
The only thing that may affect you (and at the point you are now, I don't think it will be an issue) is your GPA. Most schools require 3.5 or higher, but as I said, you have plenty of experience and background to compensate for the GPA. IMO I wouldn't even bother taking the ADAT
My PD would read every single application. I couldn't believe it, as I would gravitate to certain aspects of an application when reviewing. He would filter 200-300 applications to 40 and then have other faculty review them. We would then vote for the select 15 or so applicants. Sure, nepotism is a thing in all specialties, but the reality, as I'm sure most of you know, is that there are hundreds of competitive applicants, and the process is rough. Let's keep the spirits high, be excited, and save the "Debbie Downer" remarks until after August.

I think you need at least 3 before submitting and the rest can be added later

Where did you see this? I didn’t see this on the ADEA PASS page?

Ooo interesting. I thought they only required the unofficial transcripts uploaded onto ADEA PASS under the “additional documents”.
So does this mean they want the transcripts sent directly from the institution?

There’s been several residents who mention that their PD reads all of the applications for fairness. So there’s some encouragement there. I don’t necessarily blame the PD for selecting based off of the faintest connection —even if the candidate came from the same school, location, knows a mutual person, or happened to share the same hobby idk. The program reads hundreds of apps, obviously you’re gonna choose someone you can relate to.
My tip would be — if you wanted to go to a program, you should make a connection or contact SOMEHOW.
You can upload an official transcript under “unofficial transcript.” ADEA PASS does not take official transcripts from undergraduate schools. Email their program to confirm.

Yeah that’s what I did, but I’m concerned now whether that’s enough because they’re not “official” copies like the program requires. I may just email to ask specifically what they require!

Is the "Experiences" section on PASS for those experiences not listed on your CV, or should you include everything there?
that was quick lol
That’s crazy. It was barely a week after apps opened. Based on this, it seems like they already had an idea of who they wanted. Why even waste people’s time and money

Houston sent out an invite on May 17 last year so I’m not sure why we’re surprised about this. I highly doubt they’re one and done. Things seem to happen more quickly every cycle.
I’m more surprised to see two programs that have already announced interview dates in june.
Anyone heard from Houston yet since they were so early last year?
Also wondering this since that seems like the entire purpose of the CV inclusion. Is everyone just duplicating in the experiences/achievements section?

Weird question, but let's say I request 5 people to write me LORs, and 4 of them have submitted. In the situation of all other stuff (e.g. Institution letter, transcripts, and so on) were ready, does my application consider as "complete" as I have 4 letter of LOR already or will count as incomplete cause I requested 5 people writing me LORs and one more LOR is pending to be submitted?
Most likely it would be considered as complete as it had all the basic requirements. Doesn't it show in the check status section as complete yet?
So it showed in green like "Requested > Accepted 4 of 5 > Completed 4 of 5" in which I am so confused.
SDN users tend to keep things anonymous for a reason. Please respect that.
what does it say on the status next to each schools you applied to? if it says complete then I think you are good.
