Congrats and Good Luck!
nyu called me for interview aug 4...
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.
Are the interview invitations out for Ohio State University?
did anybody get a call from uconn?
Has anyone heard back from VCU after the interview yet?
Not yet, but my understanding is that this year most of the programs will reply in early sept
Did you interview at VCU? Some people indicated that the longest schools would wait is a week.
yes I did, well my guess is that it depends on the program
have you gone for interviews yet?
My husband is actually the one who is applying, I am just trying to stay sane. He has interviewed at VCU, nothing from MD or UPENN yet. We are restricted to the east coast because I work in DC.

Thanks for the link! Very helpful.
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.
page 2 of the recruitment guidelines pdf (link in the first paragraph):
First Acceptance Date:
Institutions shall offer an applicant acceptance no earlier than:
The Friday before Labor Day of Each Year For the 2011 recruitment cycle, the date is Friday, September 2, 2011
Applicants to Accept or Decline Date:
Institutions shall allow students several days to give confirmation of acceptance, no earlier than:
The Tuesday after Labor Day of Each Year For the 2011 recruitment cycle, the date is Tuesday, September 6, 2011
applied to stony brook, columbia, vcu, maryland, and UNC. interview tomorrow at SB (my dental school) and columbia in september.
when did you submit your columbia application?
submitted columbia july 30, got the interview invite e-mail aug 2nd. ordered my college transcripts and board scores june 13 and july 10, respectively.
Has anyone heard from uconn, minnesota,baylor, ohio state yet?
I heard from UConn yesterday for August 25th interview.
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.

Go to this link: http://www.perio.org/education/us.html
It has a breakdown of each program, including the ratio of applicants to acceptances.
If you get an interview you have passed the academic threshhold of the program. However, when it comes down to picking Applicant A or B who both performed well during the interviews, it goes back to being a stats game.
I'd say some of the big names get over 100 applicants..... Typically interview 10-15 for 2-4 spots....
those data on perio.org is too old, it has not shown current or last year condition as what i know.
good luck
good luck
Did anyone who interviewed at BU get acceptance yet?
I 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.
up to now, I got two interview invitation, actually, only short moment I was excited, when I look at the tuition, there is no way to be happy. sometimes, I just doubt myself, is it good choice? 3-years program, it needs $150,000-200,000 (including life expenses), I don't know how you guys feel about it?😡
Thanks for informing me guess I missed it.all the hopes now for UT houston
no, people don't always play nice. i'm sure there are a lot of people getting an "unofficial wink" here and there.
Has anyone heard from UPenn for interviews?
