Anybody hear back from Kentucky?
do you by chance know the dates ?Tufts have started interviews ongoing
Would I be crazy to cancel an interview invite? I applied to just a couple of private schools and considered them "safety" programs because of their high tuition ($50k) w/no stipend. Nearly all the other programs are public with tuition ranging from $0-25k and most have stipends. I received 5 interview offers and am considering canceling the one which has the highest tuition cost and no stipend. I feel very good about my first interview and that has made me reconsider proceeding with an interview at a program which I'm not 100% excited to attend. My gut tells me that I will match at one of the 4 other programs, but I also don't want to make a major mistake. Thoughts?
Thanks for the link, that is a very useful pdf. Essentially if you don't have a program ranked in your top 4 you likely won't match.
The majority of people match into their rank 1. But there is no right answer to your question. Good luck!

I think ultimately the choice is up to you. It sounds like you're doing really well getting interviews & doing well at them. If the interview is online, I would still take it and make the decision on how to rank closer to the match deadline day. But everyone's circumstances are different.Would I be crazy to cancel an interview invite?

does anyone know if UPenn, Columbia or Tufts are doing second rounds of interviews?
What are the dates for Tufts? if you guys don't mind sharing those. thank you
when did you guys submit and when did you get the “application complete” email from Tufts? I submitted July 19 and got the complete email on Aug 23
Which programs did you apply to and what are your stats?Should I still have hope knowing that I didn't receive any interview invites yet? 💔
Based on Match Statistics from 2018,I wonder how many programs people applied on average 😄
They sent out 2 weeks agoAnyone hear from Texas AM Dallas yet?
Dates? How about VCU?They sent out 2 weeks ago
Congrats. How did you get notified?VA in LA is out for oct 3
Thank you!! Through email. Interview is virtualCongrats. How did you get notified?
There seems to be a lot since its zoom. Sept 9, 14, 27, 30 and several more in OctoberWhat are the dates for Tufts? if you guys don't mind sharing those. thank you
Sorry for the late reply. You mean physical letter or email? I didn't receive any physical letter that has time confirmation. It was only an email stating the interview date and they requested the applicant's reply.Have you received letter of time confirmation? I replied 6 days ago and nothing back yet...
Same here!!!! I’m dying 😭😭😭Should I still have hope knowing that I didn't receive any interview invites yet? 💔
They sent out the interviews 💔Anybody hear back from Kentucky?
Temple has in person interviews next weekAnyone has heard anything about VCU or Temple yet?
I know many people who did not receive any interview invite. Some applied very early, some late and some of them applied to almost all programs. What makes your application strong?Hello guy,
Would the Uni’s send for another interview round?
I haven’t heard from them, although my application is strong and I made sure with all of them that’s complete. Please advise what should I do 💔
That's kinda weirdRutgers is out for “preliminary” interviews on 9/29 (online)
“Follow up interviews will be conducted in person”
Do you mean I have to rank at least 4 programs? Or do you mean I have to be ranked in the top 4 of each program I ranked?Thanks for the link, that is a very useful pdf. Essentially if you don't have a program ranked in your top 4 you likely won't match.
My understanding is that IF you match, it will be to a program in your top 4.Do you mean I have to rank at least 4 programs? Or do you mean I have to be ranked in the top 4 of each program I ranked?
I'm fairly certain the VA in LA only has the one interview date next Monday via Zoom.Can anybody confirm all the dates for VA in LA and UCLA?
I believe they're both 1 day interviews only - 9/29 for UCLA and 10/3 for the VA in LACan anybody confirm all the dates for VA in LA and UCLA?
LOL unfortunately that's the case with a majority of programs. You could reach out to the program and ask for a list of current residents or grads.Does anyone know where I can find some information on Rutgers Perio program besides their website which doesn't really say anything?
