I don't know if it was this thread or a different one but someone that applied last year said about half of the schools that didn't invite him out sent out rejection letters and then the other half he never heard from at all. I don't know exactly how Tufts does it. Hope this helps.

Hey also how does Match work? schools that participate in Match will send out interview calls only after Match releases its results?

Indian Dental: No offense but at this point if you don't know how MATCH works, you have no business applying to post grad residencies.
From some of your questions on this thread, it appears that you're kind of clueless and have a lot to learn. This is 2nd year dental school material.
 
Hey guys! on average how many interviews are you invited to so far? I have applied to 22 programs but only heard from 3. is it too late to get more invitations? or there is still hope?.. thanks

I have heard from 7 but expect a few more, Most of the New York Programs havn't sent invites out, or either of the Pittsburgh Programs, or Children's Boston and those are just the ones I know of. Depends on how many of the schools you applied to are already on the list above, if every one you applied to is on the list you may not get many more (unless people cancel their interview). If you applied to programs that have yet to send out invites you will probably get a few more. Good Luck :thumbup:
 
nkgdds this forum is to help people out and not act like a pompous know it all like you. i agree some of my questions are naive but thats because i am not from the country. i joined this forum to get some help. since your from dental school in the states a lot of my questions seem like stuff you would know since you were born but these are all new things to me. so may be you should try to be a little more helpful.

I was invited to interview at only one of the several programs to which I applied; I'm not expecting any more invitations. So this interview could be the make-it or break-it event for me in this application cycle. Can anyone offer any advice? What to expect? What kind of questions might be asked? Is this all about personality and schmoozing? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks, all.
 
Hello tygrardds, I think you should tell us which program you are interviewing at and may be some one from the previous interview cycle can help you out!! Good luck,

I couldn’t find anything arrogant (pompous) in nkgdds note. Your questions are valid but not for the “Pedo Interviews 2008” topic. There is one level up a forum name “International Dental”, where you should find answers to the questions you've asked.

Interview date Dec 5 (only one). No event the night before.
 
Things to consider when looking at Pedo programs (by DcS from 2006 pedo thread) :

-Hospital or school-based?
-How much didactic work do they get?Are the classes P/F or do they have graded exams?
-What is the call like? Is it in-house? How is it split b/w residents?
-How much time do they spend in the OR?
-What kind of oral sedation do they use? How many patients do they do it on? Any IV sedation?
-How seriously is the research requirement taken (some programs make you only do data collection, some it's hard-core and you won't graduate on time unless you are done)
-How many full time staff do they have?
-What % of residents go on to become board certified?
-How much ortho do they offer?

Please post any interview information when you recieve it. I called the University of Minnesota today and they said they had already finished sending out all their invites a while back. It would have helped me a lot if someone would have posted it on SDN. Anyhow, a big thank you to all those who have already posted their info.

I heard Loma Linda was waiting for something that was supposed to come out Nov. 1st, and then they will send out invites after that. Not sure if its true, but that's what I heard (I am currently studying in Loma Linda in their international program).

So potentially we could hear as soon as next week... Can't say for sure though.
 
Here is a shorter list showing only the remaining programs we are still waiting on...

I just called University of Minnesota now. The program co-ordinator was not in today, but she has a recorded message stating that applicants will be notified about their interviews no later than Nov. 15th. So I guess maybe they will still send out some more.

Thanks for the followup ambitiousdent. I hope you are right. I'm not sure who I spoke to the other day but she said that they had already sent out the interview invitations. Last year, they sent out invites mid-October. I was starting to wonder why it hadn't been posted if the invitations had indeed been sent out. I don't have a lot of money so I'm trying to calculate and budget my travel expenses. Thanks again for following up. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

By the way, for anyone interested, I spoke to Children Hospital in Boston and they said they will still be reviewing applications for the next two weeks. They don't seem to be in a hurry. Last year they didn't send out interview invites until early November. I don't even think they have chosen the interview dates yet because the only thing they would tell me is that the interview date would be in early December, similar to last year.

I am curious what you all think about programs that don't use Match - requiring you to choose THEIR program and opt out of Match before Match publishes results.

Here is a scenario:

  • You have 4 interviews at different programs.
    • 3 of them use Match
    • 1 of them does not
    .
  • The Cost:
    • The 3 that use Match pay you $100,000 over those two years.
    • The 1 that doesn't use Match costs $100,000 over two years.
    • This is a difference of $200,000 between the programs.
    .
  • The program that doesn't use Match accepts you early, and tells you that you must withdraw from Match and show them proof that you withdrew to accept their offer. You might have been accepted to the other programs, but you will never know if you accept this offer.

  • 1 of the programs that uses Match is LESS preferable than the one that does not use Match - so if you stay in Match you might get chosen by a less desirable program, a more desirable program, or potentially no programs at all.
.
What do you do? What are your thoughts?

I know for a fact Loma Linda will start sending out letters the beginning of next week; and I heard from a very reliable source that if you aren't from OHSU dental school, you will not be hearing from them. :(

I'm in a similar situation - but I was told by a second year resident that you will get a pretty good idea, and can directly ask residents at the programs you interview at after the fact, whether or not you have a good chance of being selected. From there you can decide whether or not to drop out of Match.
 
I was told by Loma Linda faculty that invitations (letters) were sent out today...
 
I may have to pick between Ohio State and Cincinnati! Both are amazing programs and I am having a hard time even thinking about dropping one of them... The only option I have maybe be if Cincinnati will let me swap days but then I am over lapping with Indiana!
Any advice? Insight? anything?
