Hi ..Anyone applying to the VA in NYC?
 
what kind of GPA or percentage do you need to fall in in order to specialize in perio?
 
Is it too late to send updates to the programs or do they consider updates till deadline. Generally when do they start interviewing

Did anyone hear anything yet?? Anyone applying to the VA in NYC? Any thoughts about the program?

It Depends

if you have good CV it will help

But low GPA and poor CV it will be difficult

No it is not too late

The sooner you update the better

good luck

I think usually they start to send for interviews from mid July to early August

I wish someone could share or give some information regarding the VA in NYC

Any idea about their interview time frame
 
I have no Idea, Did you visit their Program?
 
Has Iowa sent out their invitations for interviews?
 
Hi Spurti
What kind of interview email have u received? Have they mentioned about skill test and different kind of test they will ask??
 
Hey Ifixteeth,

I know Buffalo (they have a rolling interview process), UColumbia and UMichigan have responded
 
Hi Passion bug,
They have mentioned in interview email there will be a skill test and written test. But they did not elaborate on what kind of skill test. Did you also get an invite from marquette.
 
So, till now

Tufts, USC, UColumbia, UMichigan, Marquette they started to call for interview

Does it mean that they will not call more people?!!

Hey Dentist4u when did you get call from slu, are they done sending IV or they are still calling for another batch.
 
Hey Spurti
I don`t know whats a batch is. They invited for interview through email.
 
I received verbal acceptance into Colorado (no interview yet, however).
Interviews at SLU and VCU
Still waiting on MUSC and UTHSCSA

Anyone else?
 
Still waiting for UTHSCSA and UW interviews. Anyone hears from UW?
 
I think most of the programs are waiting to be very close to the application deadline before sending invitations


Hope to receive something very soon
Best wishes for all.
