Hi question for you all, is it important at all to bring a portfolio of cases you have done to your interview? Is it worth bringing anything at all other than yourself? CV? Resume? Photos?

 

[Milkteeth12]

How is everybody feeling about this “Big Beautiful Bill” for student loans that just got passed by the senate? It would cap grad student loans at $200,000. I already have a little more than that so I guess I would be looking at private loans for endo residency?? That scares me

We will see very quickly what is worth the money as far as education goes lol

 

[toothlover100]

Is there a thread with past interview questions or prep?

 

[jteeth]

Any updates on offers?

Did they send out today?

 

[Dr. Pep]

Did you guys get today an email from Indiana "We have received all supplemental documentation. Your application is complete and will be reviewed by the admissions committee." I submitted all my documents by May 20th. I hope they saw my application when they picked their candidates.

I actually did have that struggle two years ago and still sometimes wonder—what if I’d gone to the other one?

Now I’m applying for the third time. They say third time’s the charm. Still trying. Still hopeful.

Which programs if you had an interview there, you will get 97% chance of getting in? i meant which program is selective in their interviewees. Do you guys know?

I thought you can borrow up to 50 K / year. Total 200 K for professional as a new borrower, they won’t take into account what you have borrowed before !
i am sure applicants number will drop drastically because of this bill!

 

[vkpride]

So the max one can borrow for endo residency is 100k? (For 2 yr program)

 

[yendo25]

As an endodontist, how hard is it to pay off student loans under $400k?

 

[Blueshirts]

So the max one can borrow for endo residency is 100k? (For 2 yr program)

The max you can borrow for ALL professional programming (including d school) is 200k

I don’t think this is true. I believe it’s 200K all time. So anyone who took out loans for dental school already will have nothing for residency. Are people thinking of dropping out of the running for residency? Private loans are so predatory and have insane interest rates.

How much interest is high? Federal is at 5-7% !!
i believe….Yes dropping and definitely not applying again!

Way higher. Average Personal Loan Interest Rates in May 2025 | Bankrate

 

[AAdentist]

Way higher. Average Personal Loan Interest Rates in May 2025 | Bankrate

Yes average 12% ! Very high. If you are qualified…Then residency programs need to lower tuition and That’s not going to happen soon.
But definitely less applicants for next years at least for schools with high tuition ($70 K and more) which is more than half of the endo programs in the USA. I am sending my kids to Europe for education lol..
i talked to colleagues…they don’t think in advance…they just want to get into residency & then they will figure it out later…
Just like when dental students ended up with $700 K loan insane!

 

[MasterFile]

A question for fellow applicants who have applied multiple cycles, do programs generally send out multiple interviews or just one?

 

[Vendetta27]

A question for fellow applicants who have applied multiple cycles, do programs generally send out multiple interviews or just one?

Depends on the program. Most programs only send one, larger programs may send out multiple.

 

[endozion]

does it make sense to go back to GPR when 3 years post grad? I know programs value a gpr, but does anyone see a clinical benefit to this when considering sacrificing private practice pay and experience?

 

[SirBrotherJam]

does it make sense to go back to GPR when 3 years post grad? I know programs value a gpr, but does anyone see a clinical benefit to this when considering sacrificing private practice pay and experience?

If my old program director wanted you and you were a fourth year, he would tell you to go to the VA and then guarantee your spot the following year. I don’t know if that happens anymore with other programs, but I would not waste a year or two. Even with a GPR, it doesn’t guarantee anything and I doubt at this point you would learn much. The only promise would be lost income.

 

[cowboyendo]

Best attire for an interview? Suit and tie for guys?

 

[EsteDentist]

Did anyone here go to Rutgers Endo and would be willing to answer a few questions about the program, leading up to the interview this week?

No. A bathing suit and flip flops would be more appropriate.
