Is anyone applying for Perio residency this year?
Members don't see this ad.
 
Hey does anyone have an idea if U of Florida , U of kentucky and U of Iowa take international graduates ? (I know that their websites says they do, but i'm asking in general if someone has heard anything)

and do they only prefer the students that intern there

any info would be appreciated.

Thanks !!!1

Anyone have any information on the Perio program at University of Washington? Competitiveness level (difficulty of getting an interview)/ residency structure. Wasn’t able to visit or shadow at the program because of cost. I saw on an old post they only had one interview day for last year. Thanks!

It is suppose to be one of the best programs in the country and from what I have heard it's extremely competitive.
The current resident profiles at UW are extremely good , you should check their profiles and decide.

Hi,
After completing PASS n secondary application do we contact the college or wait for them to send completion emails ???
(especially in colleges where contact info of only program director is on website and no other person)
any info would be appreciated !!!!!
 
did anyone get completion emails from San Antonio or Louisiana ??
 
Are people submitting their pass before everything is actually in it? Aka all I’m waiting on is letters of rec to be uploaded, submit or wait? Thanks

I did pay before everything was completed on my application.
I remember them saying last time that only after I pay they will process my transcripts and as, they have increased their processing time for transcripts to 7-10 working days I Payed way early.
 
How are you guys verifying whether or not your applications have been received?How do we know that our applications are complete?
Are people calling to verify or emailing ? I'm not able to reach a bunch of colleges , not sure how to confirm !!!!

So my school did not allow us to schedule part II boards until finishing third year (right now). Colorado told me today that my application is incomplete and will not be reviewed without part II boards. Did anyone else think this was the case? Is this the case with all of the schools?

I remember meeting a lot of US graduates last year, none had taken the part 2 so I think not many colleges would have a problem with u not having taken it. Most college websites state that u need to pass part 2 prior to beginning the program, so I don't think u should worry. U should check college websites ( Where ever u have applied) and then if u still have doubt about certain colleges email them , almost all colleges are quick to respond.

Hi mbb3003,

Saint Louis : [email protected] they will reply in a couple of days. If u think they haven't u can also mail [email protected] both reply back within 2 business days and are quick to resolve any issue.( I emailed both for all queries when I was completing my application in March)

OSU: First email [email protected] if they cannot resolve the issue , email [email protected]. Usually the grad email will resolve ur issue super quick.
 
mhb3003 :

OSU if no one replies u can email the program director as well he would definitely reply, n if u have doubts about the program email a resident they will revert back. I did that last year !!!
 
Thank you so much guys. Lets hope for the best for all of us
 
International students who have applied to Iowa please check your Admissions account stat ( deadline is today) as they now require students irrespective of the country to upload their dental license, so if u haven't uploaded do it stat. ( Until couple of weeks back there was no provision to upload for internationals)

Not sure y !!!! I submitted my application in April but yest all of a sudden I saw the License requirement statement was changed to "submit dental license irrespective of country" so I thought il let others know. May be u have already uploaded ur license, I had major problem with my portal when I was completing my application, may be that's y the license thing changed for me now !!!

Whish i can help but i didnt apply there
 
Has anyone applied to UCONN Perio, NOVA, West Virgina and UT Houston?
When I should expect to hear from them?
 
Houston ive applied
west virginia Perio.org says won't accept residents this cycle so did not apply
did not apply to UCONN n NOVA
 
any reasons why u didnt apply o Nova and Uconn (i hear this one is a great program)?

U Conn required an official transcript and it takes minimum of 7-8 weeks for me to get one and thus I thought I would be too late in the application cycle. Moreover I was extremely confused by their application procedure on their website and so I did not apply.

I have heard very good reviews about both programs, all the best for your application cycle.

Program director at MUSC has changed to Dr. Michael Cuenin and their deadline has been shifted to October 2 and they said they haven't reviewed any applications yet.
