What is the clinical experience like at Stony Brook? I applied based on family orthodontist recommendation. What are the rough exit requirement numbers for extractions/root canals?
 
The clinical experience for certain procedures is great and weak in others. we have some of the highest requirements for crowns and dentures. Because we do a ton of those. However Endo however is not the strongest, I think we are required to do about 2-3?

I don’t know the extraction requirements but these are the least problematic from what I’ve seen. People are more worried about finishing up all the dentures they have to do.

Wanted to follow this thread - received an email about a week ago & my application is under review! 🙂
 
Is anyone having difficulty submitting their payment for the supplemental fee? Everytime I try to, my payment from the last application cycle appears and it won't let me pay.

How did your interview go?

The Interview Day roughly consists of
- an admissions presentation
- a financial aid presentation
- tour of the school with D2s
- short mini-interview with a D4
- Two traditional 1-on-1 interviews with Faculty.

The day starts approximately around 10am and ends around 2-2:30ish.

Hope this helps 🙂

3 interviews is overkill...makes me want to just decline the invite lol

The interview with the D4 is just a casual conversation before your real interviews. I don't think it really holds any weight

Pretty well, thanks! Came into it with Stony as top choice and that’s still true.

What do you like about the school? Are you from the area? If not, do you think a city person could do well in that environment?

like everyone else I like the small class size and biomedical curriculum, I'm from NYC and personally like that suburban feel but it depends on the person
 
Question for anyone who has interviewed. The below is copied from the interview invitation email. Do they really want to see all that stuff? I think they just meant bring SOME form of ID, which seems more reasonable. Eh?

Be sure to bring the following ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS with you when you come to your interview (COPIES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED):

  • ID documentation (Driver's license)
  • Confirmation of residency status (Permanent Resident Card, Visa, Passport)
  • A passport type 2x2 inch headshot photograph of yourself taken within the past 6 months
  • Health insurance card which must indicate the policy holder's name
  • Automobile registration

Yeah you'll need to bring each of those items; the director of admissions scanned each one of the items requested.

This wasn't the case for me personally, she just asked for license, passport, and 2x2 picture. I had all the other things but didn't give them
It is better safe than sorry, of course

I'm OOS and interviewing next week. Can someone fill me in about the curriculum grading didactic and in clinic? did it used to be P/F and no longer so?
Click to expand...

Didactic Courses are A/B/C/F.
Clinic Courses are actually going to potentially stay H/P/F. :angelic:

When the D2s enter clinic in January, the clinic grading will be 100% solidified so don't let the ABC Clinic Grading deter you from interviewing or considering Stony Brook. 😀

I believe it holds some weight. Otherwise they wouldn't have a sheet with our names and space for them to write feedback. Their feedback is certainly weighed less than faculty interviews, but it probably counts for something.
 
During our tour the D2's did not take us into the clinical areas. I thought this was a huge oversight considering we will be working there for years. Did they just forget, or was that not a part of the tour? Every other school walked us through clinical areas.

Our guides said they weren’t allowed to I think, something to do with patient privacy

However they’re supposedly getting renovated so it wouldn’t have mattered anyways since it’ll be done by the time we get there

We also were not allowed into the clinic but were encouraged to peek through the windows.... Seemed weird to me since clinic can be a big determining factor.


D4 interview definitely holds some weight but probably not a ton considering it was a blind interview for them. No essays, no stats, no real knowledge of us. Hopefully you make a good impression without your test scores!
