thanks.. my application was submitted by CAAPID on 8/6/09 and got completion confirmation email on 8/25
 
I received an invitation too 😀 Does anyone know how many people were interviewed last year?
 
how is every1 preparing for the interview??
is the OSCE a written exam?? also, it looks like that they may also ask partial crown preps and also amalgam and composite restorations..gonna be tough..
it would be gr8 if any1 who has undergone this interview in previous years shed some light on this..
 
How is everyone preparing for the bench test..any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
 
no idea, there is a list which is floating around, of general preps we have to be ready with. other than that no idea what U Mich wants. Any ideas about the MMI and OSCE?
 
I have booked a room at Ann Arbor .... anyone interested in sharing accomodation & fare is welcome 2 PM me ..... I am indian male, will be travelling from NJ.
Let me know
 
did anyone recieve an invitation recently??
 
good luck to all those who received an interview....
here's what the exam is abt and wht u need to do:
1) preps... they tend to change the preps they ask for every year( its abt the only school tht does tht)
u will have to prep on mannequins and ull have a couple of them...class 2, class 3, PFM , amalgam fills, mods, probably gold crowns...

2) u will have a written test....
you will be provided with pt. charts, models , radiographs and u need to extrapolate ur answers from therein.
yes, there is sure to be atleast 1 RPD case, undoubtedly ....
skim through ur part 2 decks..... a perfunctory glance shd suffice...KNOW ur basics well so u can analyse and interpret well... learning verbatim wont help at all...

3) MMIs
well, these r pretty staight forward
2 stations verbal interviews
ull have to discuss a scenerio u r presented with ... last year it was ethic based.

the other will be a personal interview.

u will have 2 stations where u have to cite ur opinion on a certain issue( this is not a knowledge based q, its ABT WHT U THINK ... ur take /perspective on a certain issue)....

last year they interviewed 24 students...i think they dont call in students, in excess of 35.....
hope this helps! and the curtain of mystery is atleast partly drawn asunder 😀😀
good luck again....👍👍
 
do they ask three quarter and onlay?

nobody can tell you with certainty wht they will ask for... they change it every year.... but ive observed tht full gold crowns/ partial crowns and onlays r favs with west coast schools whereas the midwest and NE schools usually stick to PFMs... THIS IS NOT A FACT, ITS A MERE OBSERVATION & thereby SUBJECT TO ERROR ....besides if u can prep a full crown ,a partial shd not be a problem ,save the grooves, u need to get a lil help there...
 
hi dentbombay,
thanks for all the help u have provided. i had a question. while working on the mannequin at the bench exam, do we have to put a rubber dam?
 
Has anyone heard anything from U Mich? I believe they said that they would let us know by Monday, if not Friday by the latest if we were accepted or not. So wondering if anyone knows whats going on?
 
Be patient, they stressed on that. I'm like you just waiting, and it is my first preference school, but there is nothing we can do more than waiting.

Good luck
