To all upper classmen:
For those of you that have applied to Post-Doc dental residencies, I have some questions about PASS evaluation forms (e-forms). Alright, so I looked at the PASS application with the ADEA website and saw that there are these e-forms for evaluations.
3 e-forms for personal evaluations
1 e-form for institutional evaluation
How does this really work? The faculties will receive an email to inform them that I want an electronic evaluation from them? What were your experiences with faculties responding to these electronic requests? Were they (faculty and the e-forms) pain in the @ss? Are these e-forms required if you have letters of recommendation?
So lets say that I have all the e-forms requested and completed by the Dean and faculties, do I still request letters of recommendation if I wish to strengthen my application? How did you guys do it? E-forms AND letters of recommendation (with letters sent directly to residencies)?
I greatly appreciate all responses, but if OMFS residents and applicants can share, then that would be preferred.
Also, when applying to OMFS residencies, does it hold true like applying to dental schools? The earlier you apply, the better your chances? (I don't think it would, but I would like to your thoughts on this). Thanks in advance.
Please feel free to use this thread for all future PASS application questions. Most likely, if you have a question, then some of us have the exact same question in mind.
