Wow! Is nobody really interested in apply for Pros? Any idea which schools have bench tests for pros?
 
There aren't many pros applicants on SDN. Small crowd 🙂

UTHSCSA has a bench "test" - but i don't think it's a big part of the decision-making process.

Any idea if unc, u conn have bench tests...? What preparations are generally expected in the test?
 
I really really wouldn't worry about the bench tests. They won't select the applicant with the best crown prep - but they might NOT accept one who mutilates the tooth. It's just a helpful guide, not really a "test".

Some programs should start sending out invites in the next week or two. All my interviews last year were scheduled for September. Some programs start earlier and some start later - Mayo didn't even invite me until I had been to all my other interviews and had accepted a spot. Without PASS, the pros application season gets a little messy...
 
I applied to UNC, Maryland, Iowa, UIC, UConn, WVU, Stonybrook, Rochester, and OSU. I have already heard from and scheduled interviews at Chicago and West Virginia.
 
I heard from Chicago yesterday by email. They have a few days set up for interviewing and Ill be going there for the 26th of August. 👍

Good luck! Their application is kinda tricky! Did you apply through PASS or just followed their instructions on their website?
 
Both. I did PASS and whatever supplemental they had listed on their website. If I wasn't sure about the supplementals and what they required, I emailed the programs directly to make sure. Then I emailed the programs a week or two after I submitted and asked if my application was complete.

Hi Guys,

I hope this thread keep going this year.

I applied to BU, Tufts, Harvard, NYU, Rutgers, Michigan, OSU, USC

nothing yet


Good luck for everybody
 
OSU, UNC and Iowa have yet to contact me either, but I believe their application deadlines aren't until the 15th.
Thanks
 
I am a 4th year student at Temple University. No scores because my boards were pass/fail. I have a 3.5 gpa, so nothing. I was a dental technician and a dental hygienist before entering school at temple though. I worked as a dental assistant for 2 years while in hygiene school as well.

did they tell you anything about the interviews and/or bench tests?
 
No bench test at UConn and no agenda as well so far. I don't know about WVU either. Chicago wants me to make a 3-5 min presentation on a topic of my choice. Other than that, I don't know. I know UNC and OSU have bench tests (crown preps on manikins).
 
UNC has a Bench test. I know a resident there. I don't think they have sent invitations. Dr.Ram121 since you are a dental tech you have a good chance to get an interview at all the schools that you applied to.

I think the majority of the prostho applicants are international. I visited a prostho program two years ago, they had over 100 applications and only12 were US applicants.
Any more invitations?
Marquette is sending invitations.

hmmmm...I was under the impression that Universities prefer domestic students over international students for MS program...I have applied for UCSF, UW, Tuffts, LLU, Harvard, NSU, UM...so far have not heard any IV 🙁

What's the selection criteria for International students?? GPA, TOEFL, Work Experience, Research Work....?

If anyone is interested, Ohio State just sent out invitations for interviews. They have two dates Sept. 22-23 and Sept 29-30.
