any good news yet?
Interview from vcu in august...
has anyone interviewed at tufts yet? i have mine coming up this week
also got invites for UMich and UWash
when did you guys apply? how soon did you get interview invitations after applying? i have only interviewed at UIC so far. anybody interview there?
Already interviewed at Loma Linda, waiting to hear back from others too.
Congrats. Can you describe the interview experience? What questions did they ask?
For me it was pretty straight forward. It was a little bit about why I want to be a periodontist, little bit about me personally and then they allowed me to ask questions.
Has anyone heard back from VCU after the interview yet?
Did you interview at VCU? Some people indicated that the longest schools would wait is a week.
Not yet, but my understanding is that this year most of the programs will reply in early sept
The interesting thing about the Guidelines is that it says institutions can't require a response before Labor day, it says nothing about when the institution can let the candidate know they have been accepted.
Does anyone know approximately the number of applicants for most perio programs? Is it in the hundreds, in the fifties, in the thirties? How many of the applicants get interviews? Do most applicants get invited for interviews? Half of the applicants? And are interviews a guarantee that you will be accepted as long as you do well on the interview? Wondering if anyone has any answers or thoughts to any of these questions.
I'd say some of the big names get over 100 applicants..... Typically interview 10-15 for 2-4 spots....
Did anyone hear from san antonio
page 2 of the recruitment guidelines pdf (link in the first paragraph):

applied to stony brook, columbia, vcu, maryland, and UNC. interview tomorrow at SB (my dental school) and columbia in september.
Thanks for informing me guess I missed it.all the hopes now for UT houstonI have a friend there now and she told me they have already started interviews.
The problem is that it is a "guideline," not a set of hard set rules. Trust me some schools don't follow that guideline.
