does anyone of you know the criteria that Rochester uses to select the candidates for interview? I have a long gap of 6 years in my career. So I am a bit worried thinking that would they consider me or not.

Interview process starts at around 8am in the morning and ends around 5-530pm, all the interviewees are called in alphabetic order, whosever last name starts with Z, I m afraid u r looking at 5pm till u get done with your interview. There will be 3 interviews in total, One with the chair Dr Malmstorm, second will be with the assistant director and clinical director Dr Yunker and Dr Ghanem respectively, they both take interview together, then last but not the least interview will be with Galina, she is the administer, doesn't make sense that she takes interview but she takes it any way. u will be served breakfast and lunch, u will be given a tour of the whole Eastman. Good luck everyone

hi Dr's I had my iv last Tuesday dr malmstorm will ask you to talk about your self and your goals, he will ask some Q about your experience and research, then he'll ask where do you see your self 5 years from now?

There selection criteria is somewhat funny, there are some residents who are I admit qualified, but there are some residents who really makes u think that why in the world they got accepted, also ppl who do preceptor-ship at Eastman also have a better chance of getting in, it doesn't matter if u are highly qualified, if u do preceptorship for 6months or a year and u are a decent person in general, chances are u will get in, u will get in for two reasons, one u pay a good some of money for preceptorship, secondly u show them what u r capable of and u can get along with other ppl well. Other than that, if u have research experience, back home clinical experience, a post graduation, and u r able to speak good English in the interview, be humble and try ur best to sell urself in the interview specially to malmstorm, there is no doubt that u will get in. hope that helps, good luck

Hardly 10 mins each. They are not asking too many questions. Just question like: what are your goals, tell me about yourself etc. that's it.

Hi guys! It is a good program. Good first impression is important. I don't know "the plus" but research experience could be one, but don't worry, be yourself
 
After having second thoughts about the AEGD program at Rochester, I'm honestly going to make it my first choice when I apply to the states. It sounds way better than the standing programs.
 
Depends on ur priority, if ur desire is to get DDS degree then advance standing otherwise if u want to be able to practice in few states, AEGD is not a bad option
 
Good morning Folks! How are you doing? Any batches of interview? Any news? Mine is in November 2dn, I'm very anxious about it. Good luck for all of us!

Thank you for you reply Raq2017.

10-15 min each person...dr yunker wants to know your background same thing dr malmstrom
 
Yesterday I had my interview at Eastman.I was amazed with family like environment! We had a great tour by one of the resident from England. She took her time to show us everything! They have great facilities and great library where you can work on your presentation. The interview was very friendly. Dr.Ghanem and Dr.Yunker were asking straight forward questions. Very nice, positive people. Just be yourself, show them who you are as a person and what you can do further. Galina Torres said that this program is very challenging and asked if you can handle this. Dr. Marmelstein asked tell me about yourself and why this program. Also we spoke with many residents and assistants. They did great presentation at the auditorium.Best of luck to all of you! Drive safe and don't exceed your speed limit because you will see many police officers out there. Best of luck Raq2017 thank you for your input!
