correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there is an ortho program at Villanova??? I think diagrastric is being silly.

I was frantically going through my ASDA book and internet when I saw that post to see if Villanova had a program. I guess the whole invite by singing telegram thing should have tipped us off!!

I bet most of us checked.

Ok, I'm sorry I am a little confused. Did Nova in FL give out interviews? If you got one please confirm.
Thanks. 🙂

Yes, Nova called on 9/18 for an interview on Oct 1st or 8th.

Just a little note to this. I talked to Nova, and they said they are nowhere near done giving out interviews. Just in case anybody else paniced a little when they read this post.

I had an interview last year at Montefiore abd I applied once again this year butI havent had a phone call to invite me to an interview yet... Should I be worried??

Um.... If they really wanted you they probably would have ranked you high last year. They had their chance at selecting you to attend their program and obviously passed.

I don't want to offend you, but I think you should be worried. Good Luck!

I m very depressed. Havent heard from any school yet. I thought Rochester was my sure shot, but they also havent called me.

This is my first time to apply for Ortho. I think thats the end for me. If someone has no experience in research and has no published paper under his name, the chances of getting interview call is very less. Is that right?

?

Just out of curiosity, why did you think Rochester was your sure shot? Do you have alumni connections?

 

[prophy king]

Colorado invite today via email, October 12th

I have Zero research and Zero publications. I have received 3/4 invites so far. Keep praying, hopefully it will happen for you. Lack of research does NOT invalidate your application.

Thanks Ligature for your support. I appreciate it.

 

[shmoopie]

I havent heard from any schools either adn I 'm worried too since I am not top 5 in my class. I am still hopeful though. Maybe some of us have been placed on alternate lists for interviews?
Good luck to you all.

I second what Billy Gilmore said. I interviewed at Montefiore one year, didn't match and reapplied, and didn't get called back there in the subsequent year. I had unmatched friends who did get called back and others who didn't. It's all a crapshoot.

Ohio State by phone 9/23, dates: October 22 or 23rd, social the night before

 

[IHeartBraces]

Has anyone heart from any "former OEC" programs yet? Also, are those schools on a rolling interview schedule, or do they give them all out at once?

I haven't heard from anyone yet either... so don't feel so bad.

My school doesn't offer class rank but Part 1: 95, some research and involvement in clubs and organizations.
Hope this helps- but still I have only been offered 3/19 for interviews to applications.

 

[SFortho]

I just heard from UCSF too. Yipppeeeeeeeeee!!

 

[Yang]

I also heard from UMinn via email, interview on 10/24-10/25.

 

[bracketbuster]

If #1 in your class, 96 on boards, 3 publications, numerous extracurricular activities, and affable (I think🙂) personality can't get you an interview, what can? I guess this just adds to the evidence already out there that this process is about more than numbers or personality. I hope my predicament will be an assurance that just because you don't get the interviews you want doesn't mean you're not a qualified candidate. Keep moving forward and things will work out...that's what I keep telling myself anyway.😳
