i received a letter by usps.
 
I also got a letter from UCSF today for interview from 13-17 Nov. 🙂

The letter is too short on the details. Does anybody know what they ask in the written and technical exam?

Thanks,
Nidhi

Hi everyone,

I just called UCSF and I found out that I have been selected for an interview too. I have started preparing for the interview now, but I am still unclear on what I should expect during the interview session. I have not received a package from them as of yet, since it is being sent out today. For those who have received the package, what does it say about the interview, what procedures should we practice, the timetable, etc?
 
Hi Enamelina,

Thank you for your reply. I received your private message, but I cannot send you a private message since your maibox limit has exceeded. I am not from SFO. I am in Canada, but I have a cousin in San Jose who I will be staying with, so I will not be seeking hotel accomodation. I would like to talk to you about the interview, perhaps it would be easier if we spoke on the phone, so please send me your number via private message.

Regards

good luck 👍
 
Hi,
I received an invitation from UCSF to interview on Nov.13 too. I think all those of us who have already received an invitation should post any information/ instruction that we receive from UCSF for the benefit of others. As of now I haven't received anything. Anybody received more information yet?

Thanx

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anybody had received anymore information from UCSF regarding the technical skill test?
Thanks
dentistcs
 
Seems like we all are heading towards a 'bermuda triangle'
 
I heard from a friend that UCSF is going to ask FVC of upper and lower molar. That's it.

If anybody has more information, please let me know.

both PARTIAL veneer and full crown it seems
 
i just got an email from them.They have send detailed instructions which include ,schedule, examination detail,exercise detail(The technical examination will consist of a full veneer (gold) crown preparation on a lower (mandibular) molar and a full veneer crown preparation on an upper (maxillary) molar. )
They have also send a step by step instruction manual for crown prepration.
i hope u all will recieve the email soon..
 
hi I think everyone got the same synopsis of crown preparation. so we have to do 3/4 crown preparation also in technical test? or only full veneer crwon? UCSF is really good one that they are telling what we have to prepare in technical test as compare to other ones.

All the best of all applicants who are invited to ucsf.
 
are bhai/madam implant, seedhi seedhi bhasha mein likha hai ki fvc on molars karna hai....kahe ko 3/4th ke peeche pade ho.....vaise,tumhe bhi diwali ki shubkamnaien,happy diwali n good luck!
 
hi everyone,
Well I think it is clearly written that both of the preparations has to be prepared so how can we leave one preparation. I am lit bit tensed about written examintaion as they are asking a lot in a short period of time . So I want to ask How you all guys are preparing for that. As we all are in the same boat so any help will be appreciated.
Best of luck.

hi i am sailing in the same boat.i too cant decide what to prepare and what to leave :scared: :scared:
 
ok guys, i am confused now...the synopsis which i got has no mention of a pvc or 3/4th crown prepration.they just talked abour fvc on upper and lower molar.it might be mistake on their part.lets try to help , rather that pulling each other down.if some one can tell what they exactly have on the synopsis, i would really appreciate it.
Regarding the written test, i totaly agree that we really have a short time,but we have to do it;there is no way out....i am in same boar we sink or sail together.
 
hi all !!!

just wanted to know if anyone is coming on friday to ucsf to practise???
do we have to bring our own instruments for the exam???
 
It is mentioned that we can practice one week before at ucsf in evening time on weekdays, but we have to bring the handpiece, typodent, burs for the practice.

😍 I had a great time at UCSF. We had a written exam on sunday. The written exam is all about part II and some questions about dental anatomy.
Next day we had to do a crown prep for an upper molar and a lower molar. In the afternoon they talk about the program and all about financial aid.
I had my interview on wednesday and I felt great with those people. They are really friendly to me.
This is a wonderful school and it's highly competitive to get in.
Hope you have an idea about how everything was.
if you have any question, just PM and I' ll answer it.
👍
 
Thanks felini,..for taking the time out and posting your experience at UCSF!! 👍
Good Luck

when are the results expected?? at ucsf
Best of Luck

👍 They said the results will be sent before December 16th but last year they sent the results by November 30th.
Thank you for your wishes and good luck for you too. 🙂

Hi,

I thought the interview process went well, but it is difficult to predict what will happen since there were so many well-qualified students there. They called around 75 applicants, but only about 65 showed up. Clinical exam details were provided beforehand and were different from the previous year. Written exam was not so difficult, but was quite subjective, almost all prostho, part 2 material. Interview was very laid back and just general questions like:

1) Tell me about yourself
2) Why UCSF
3) What sets you apart from other applicants
4) Dental experience/goals
5) Future plans
6) Family background, what you do outside dentistry
7) Solo practice or group practice, why?

They say we should get the results on the 16th of December, but based on previous years, they should have the results by the first week of December. It is my preferred school and I really hope things work out. Let's see what happens. If anyone has anymore questions, please feel free to ask.
