Perio 2019

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I contacted Harvard program director, and he said they were still in the process of reviewing application, and most likely would send out more invitations. So keep hopes up, Harvard applicants!
Any updates on interviews for Harvard applicants/2nd round?! Thanks.

I know and thanks for that I just wanted to know a little more lol!
On the first day I had 2 interviews, one in the morning with one of the residents, and one in the afternoon with the perio chair, the rest of my time was spent observing in perio clinic and talking to other residents. For the happy hour, the residents took us to a restaurant around 5:30, and we chatted and ate snacks and drinks till about 7-7:30.
My second day also included 3 interviews with the program director, faculty and a resident. Overall everything was smooth and everyone were welcoming and nice! Wish you all the best!

I think almost all programs should be done sending invites as the match ranking date is Oct 29 on wards (usually most programs give 3 week notice at least )
i think if there are cancellations some might get invites unless any program interviews that late
not sure about VA'S, Buffalo and west Virgina , rest have sent multiple batches according to this forum !!!

Really? Ohhh I didn’t see the invitations from tufts for example, I mean it’s not in the list. I didn’t know October 29 th was the deadline to rank. We are close!!!! Did you get iv? Where? If you don’t mind. I’m new and I don’t know pretty well how is the process. Thanks
