FYI: The administration has completely revamped our interview process this year, which could help explain why it is taking a bit longer to get back to applicants.

How is it going to be different? I thought the reason why they were taking longer this year was because they were interviewing the international dentist first?
 
The international program is several years old. The changes in pre-doc admissions are new this year. The school hasn't said much about it except that it will be a different format than in the past. I know there are less interview days, with more applicants at each session, than we had previously .

"Dear _________,

These two nationally ranked programs combine to give future dentists the best in dental and business education. The dual degree program prepares students for clinical dentistry as well as the business and negotiation challenges that come with managing a clinical practice......"
 
God!!! Was on a lecture, received that stupid same email. When i saw "pleased to inform u"" ran away out of the room, could not read email. Why doing that to us??? 🙁(
 
Seriously! That email got my heart pounding...
I don't think I'm going to do it... I'm not sure though, I want to read more about the increased course-load per semester. And talk to my wife about what our plans are. I'm thinking I'll want to specialize, so I'm planning our the next SEVERAL years of education leading up to my actual career. What do you guys think of the joint program?
 
I might apply for it.. it's gonna be many years of schooling but owning your private practice is a business to run.. so that might be good

I think previously buffalo had group interviews, where a group of faculty interview each student at the same time. This is from what I have heard, but now they are interviewing one-on-one, so like you have three one-on-one interviews.

haven't heard anything still 🙁 any updates for anyone? do you know how many invites they sent out already?
 
My application was put under "Continue Review" today. Anyone else get this status and what are your thoughts on this status?
 
Best feeling ever when u are walking out of an interview, turn your phone on and the first thing appears in your screen is "after a careful review of this year's applicants, the University of Buffalo invites you to interview ....." Interview #8 ... Beyond grateful 🙂
