I also heard from Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh today! Also, got a call from Lutheran (Rhode Island). Interview is October 27 in PROVIDENCE.
 
Luthern?
I don't understand this program. I applied to Luthern Medical Center's outside clinics in Alaska and Rhode Island, but not to the main campus in Brooklyn. I received an interview in November for RI and AL, but I go to Brooklyn. Now I hear that UtahDentist2Be will be interviewing in Providence for the same program that I am interviewing for. Does anyone have any idea why the discrepency? Any insiders? It could very well be that he UtahDentist2Be is a higher priority or higher ranked applicant. I am just curious what's the deal.
 
You will be invited to interview in Brooklyn if you applied to multiple sites or only Brooklyn. It's actually really nice because you can interview for several sites in one day as the directors from each of the sites should be there.

Thank you, I appreciate the clarification. It makes sense now.
 
Yeah, the lady told me on the phone that I'll be going to Rhode Island because that is the only Lutheran program I applied to. I really doubt that I am a more desirable applicant than you Cochino. It seems like we've applied to a lot of similar places, though. Are you still going to Toledo on the 23rd? I look forward to meeting you.
 
Also, Which UCLA program did you apply to?

That's a good point. I was only speaking of the UCLA-Westwood program. Perhaps San Diego and Venice have already extended interviews.

Just got interviews from UCLA, San Antonio, and one of the Floridas (not sure which). I only applied to 5 schools so I am pretty happy. Lots of luck to the rest of you. I wish there were hundreds of spots so we could all get in.

hi there... any invitation for any international candidate???
 
To set the record straight, UCLA has not offered any interviews at any of their programs yet.

Well, I hate to bust anyone's bubble out there, But I too got an interview invite to UCLA on the same day as Rainbow. I was kind of surprised because I didn't even complete my application with them. I hope this clears up a bit of confusion.

I wouldn't trust anything that 'Eliminator' posts... he said he got an interview to San Antonio long before the first interviews were even offered... he also said that he has a friend from Case in the San Antonio program, there isn't anyone from Case at San Antonio... this guy is trying to mess with you all
Good luck to all those who truly have interviews!!! Pedo is AWESOME!!!
 
I watched for a long time and then joined this thread to give info about what is going on - I am truely in need of getting into a program. We all need to support each other so please only the truth.

I can't figure out what is prompting some programs to offer interviews and for others not to since I have the same application in everywhere.

Huggies - great job keeping up the list for all of us. I truely wish you well at any interviews that you have and am rooting for you to get in somewhere!

Does anyone have any good strategy for the interviews that we do have??? What really makes a good candidate for some of thses programs? What do we ask and what do we stay clear of??

Hello,

I got an interview at San Antonio 11/5-6 and have Penn on that day as well.
Would anyone with a San Antonio on ANOTHER date would want to swap with me? I'll be really thankful--will give you something 🙂

Please message me.
 
Has anyone heard from Children's of Boston/Harvard, Children's of Colorado, or University of FL - Gainsville ?

I have interviews at U Penn, KY @ Lexington, Ohio State/Nationwide Children's, Cincinnati, Connecticut, and UT - memphis so far.
I applied to 14 schools.
Good luck everyone.

It will be a good news for some and a bad news for others – some programs this cycle will count any NBDE I score above 75 as = “PASS”. A high score (> 90) will not necessary get you an interview. Good LORs and CV or a few years working as a GP in a pedo clinic probably will. Good luck.
 
VCU, Offer by phone.
Dates: Nov. 19th and 20th

I am the Chief Resident at UCLA. I can assure you, there have been no interviews offered. We haven't even received all of the apps yet, as our deadline hasn't even passed.

Thanks for clearing that up..I was starting to get worried!😳

just curious where are you getting this information ? can u expand at all?
 
I know that people do this with OMFS interviews from time to time but I haven't seen it over here in pedo. Perhaps someone who has been through this process can chime in and let us know if trading dates can be readily achieved with pedo interviews.

I have a conflict with my Cincinnati interview on December 6-7 and was wondering if anyone would like to trade dates with me for their November 15-16 slot. It's getting frustrating with so many program notifying late and very little time to fit everything in! :boom:

Please PM me if you are interested. Thanks.
 
I noticed on my packet from LSU that they mention a Sim Lab hands-on exercise. Is it pretty common to be tested on hand skills on these Pedo. interviews?

I haven't heard of that before. I did hear that last year one program asked the residents to draw a Class II prep for an amalgam on a primary molar - but I couldn't tell you who though.

*You guys let me know if I missing any programs on my list. It's hard to keep track.🙂
 
Hi everyone,

As you know, many of the programs have informal socials the night before the formal interview. Though these are informal, they provide a great opportunity to meet fellow applicants and current residents. If I am not able to make it to one of the pre-interview outings, do you think it is worth going to the interview at all since I am sure they do actually play an important role in the rank list of applicants? What are your thoughts?

Good luck everyone... this application process is getting exciting!
