I am done with part 2 and believe me it is doable. i got my bds in 2005 so i can understand your position.
Go through decks deeply. exam will a lot be clinical based. for pharma use tufts notes as additional, mosby for patient management,asda sets - J,K,L,M,revision and revision.I found board busters helpful too. work on few additional topics like bisphosphonates, antibiotics guidelines pedo theories, radiographs of normal anatomy and of pathologies. I hope all these are helpful for you . All the best. I cleared my exam in 3.5 months with a little baby always around me so i hope you can do it too. 🙂

Don't worry you can do it. I personally feel part 2 is a lot easier than part 1 because we have clinical work so now we can understand the basics.

I studied decks and mosby side by side for all subjects other than pharma. For pharma I just read tufts's notes. Other thing which really helped me were remembered questions on the nbde groups. I did them. I did past papers too those mentioned by dentgem. But definitely do those remembered questions files. A lot of stuff that is not given in decks and mosby Specially about patient management is in them. Best of luck 🙂

The writing test is regarding your proficiency in English. You will be given to write a short essay on a common topic. - This is what I've heard from people who've been interviewed in previous batches.
 
Not yet, I believe they will send the invitations in August for September and October interviews
 
Going by the previous posts, last year Umich interviews went up till Sept, and interviews for Upenn for Sept were fully booked up in the first two weeks of July. I'm not sure about the trend this year. Hopefully everything turns out good.

Hello everyone,
Is there anyone who haven't received neither interview call nor rejection from UPenn yet?
