Has anyone that had early interviews, like Nova, UW, etc gotten an offer? I know louisville was planning on waiting but I thought most places would tell you right after if you got in or not

Was wondering if Nova extended any offers to anyone after their first round of interviews?

Yes. I heard from the residents they did after the social. Does anybody know how many acceptances they gave out after the first interview date :(?

Anyone have details on Harvard? Do they allow moonlighting and if so, can you make any kind of dent in that tuition?

Temple sent out email last friday for interview on Aug 4. Does anyone know the pros and cons of the program?
 
What happens when you were offered a spot but it is not your number 1 choice? Can you still accept the offer and attend different interviews?

Yes but you will lose your deposit if you end up not going there. There are urban legends of PD's calling around to check that their residents aren't going on other interviews but that seems to not be true (according to actual program directors). I have heard horror stories about that guy from A&M though.
 
UCSF will be holding another interview date August 8th
 
You can always back out with a good reason, even though you will lose your deposit. I discussed this in detail in the Endodontics 2017 thread. You can find it in my previous posting.
 
Does anyone know anything about the endo program at NOVA? Please PM me! Thank you :)
Best of luck everyone!

Do you know if they already sent out the invites for that date or when they'll send it out?

Im unsure about this. My guess is they probably will let people know within this these next couple days if they haven't already. We got about a 1 and a half week notice before ours

NYU vs BU vs USC? Any idea and advice?

Just some facts regarding schools that are "sponsored" by companies:
NYU just renovated their endo clinic through Dentsply and looks amazing... but they are only allowed to use Dentsply products. Residency should be about being able to test all sorts of products to help you pick-and-choose for your future career.
Another example is Penn -- they are practically sponsored by Brasseler, as the postgrad endo residents (even the UG) only use BC sealer single-cone technique. I've been told by many sources that Penn residents are sitting around all the time without patients due to lack of patient flow.

I'm a Penn D4. None of the comments about Penn above are true. Penn is not sponsored hence you get to use whatever you want. The residents are not restricted to BC and use various sealers and techniques. UG do not use BC single cone. Residents are booked out in advance and busy.

My apologies if I sounded offensive. I visited Penn endo program recently for couple days and talked to the residents there and was just trying to tell you all what I observed. I may have gotten the wrong information regarding UG clinic - so I apologize.
The reason why I said they are "practically sponsored" by Brasseler is because they are not "restricted" to use BC sealer, but the curriculum revolves around it and 95% of the cases are done using BC sealer single cone technique.
Tell me, if your program director/chairman are people involved in making Brasseler products and perform research studies biased towards BC sealer, would you, as a resident, tell them that they are wrong and use something else? I am aware that they do have requirements for warm vertical and cold lateral, but it was something like doing couple cases at most.
Continuing on, they are indeed busy during the grant period which lasts couple months each year, but when the grant ends, patient flow decreases significantly and residents are no longer busy.
Just my observations.
