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

[RollingDDS]

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?

Is the "Experiences" section on PASS for those experiences not listed on your CV, or should you include everything there?

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.

Thanks Patrick !

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.

All of them showed completed but when you unfolded all showed that the remaining one is requested. I think now will depends on school then. Btw, I was always told tp submit application early, but in what range will be considered as early tho? Before the end of May?

In person, prepare your wallet for sudden flight and hotel bookings

Loma Linda and Detroit Mercy sent their secondaries

By that you mean supplemental fee payment link ? right

I believe they mean secondary apps. Like the essays and whatnot.

 

[2thAche22]

Does it really take up to 3 weeks for programs to receive the submitted PASS application?

 

[2thAche22]

also for some schools, we cant pay secondary application fee until they email us correct?

 

[DrGrillzzz]

I don’t think that’s the case since programs send out interview invites as early as a week after apps open

 

[RollingDDS]

Anybody know what to do if you have undergraduate transcripts from four institutions? PASS only allows three unofficial uploads. A program is telling me my app is incomplete without a transcript from a summer course I took and will only accept it via PASS.

Yes

Can you upload unofficial in document section ? Maybe call PASS and see if they can do something

 

[PulpPal]

does UCLA really require you to mail in your LORs? or will PASS be enough?

 

[2thAche22]

Anyone applying to UF? Have a question about their Supp App. - Do I have to have the LORs submitted again through their portal or will PASS be enough?

PASS is enough.

So basically we just need to do the UF Grad Application so we can be assigned a UFID ?

I had an extra transcript for a college course I took in high school. I just combined two of the unofficial transcripts into one file. If you have a Mac you can open both pdf files via preview and drag and drop the pages to combine them.

Genius. Thank you

has anyone gotten the link to pay the supplemental for Temple ?

 

[icefishendo]

has anyone gotten the link to pay the supplemental for Temple ?

They sent it out to me about 5 days after I submitted my app for them.

 

[2thAche22]

I just got it, submitted app yesterday

 

[endo4life004]

Did anyone hear back from
Boston
St Louis
Tennessee

 

[candlesmoke1212]

Does getting an invite to finish a supplemental application mean anything? It seems like a lot of the programs send a supplemental application automatically.

I don't think so? I got 2 email reminders from UPenn to finish my supplemental application. I was thinking -- wow, I must be hot ish. But no, I think it's automatic lol.

Anyone hear from Georgia? I have a feeling it is coming to the end for their interview selections.

Anyone know how to pay the application fee at Univ. Tenn? Do we wait for an email to be sent to us?

It says on their website they’ll send you a link after you send in your photo

I'm wondering whether I should submit now (I am still waiting for a LOR) or once the LOR is submitted. It should be one of my strongest letters too. Any thoughts or input on this would be appreciated. I know some people have asked similar questions before, but I didn't see much input. This is the last thing needed on my application.

Say I submit now and a PG reviews the available material, do they get a notification when the new LOR is submitted? Would not having the strong LOR in the initial review hurt my initial impression and chance compared to waiting?

If you have 3, go ahead an submit it. The longer you wait, less your chances at anyone even looking into your app. If its a matter of few days, then just wait it out. But def. submit by this weekend. My 2 cents

Anyone received Bu supplement application link yet ?

If it's not sent by end of the week, I'd just submit

 

[toothlover100]

Anyone know whether NOVA southeastern requires LORs to be sent directly to them or PASS is enough? The website says send directly to their enrollment processing services, but I don’t quite understand why they’d need this if all LORs are already on PASS?
