I am also interviewing on the 24th.
It was $2,000 when I was there.
I really enjoyed my interview there. I was wondering if there are opportunities to get additional experience with endo, extractions, and crown/bridge during the third and fourth years? Do fourth year students get to do molar endo and 3rd molar extractions? Thank you, ps what residency are you doing?Thanks for responding
We have 10 required days of a program called SCOPE where you go to external sites and do dentistry. Depending on where you go, you can do additional endo and crowns. Most of those sites will have you do many extractions. Additionally, you can take selectives in endo and surgery. If you take the endo selective you will likely do molar endo, you will probably not have the opportunity to do so without it. If you take the oral surgery selective you can spend more time in the oral surgery clinic. I did lots of thirds that were erupted. Most of us didn't do thirds that required use of a drill though, in my experience residents did those cases. However, some of the guys that were very into surgery and spent a lot of time with the residents and attendings were able to do a lot more than the average student. Basically, if you spend enough time getting to know whoever is in charge of a department and proving you are knowledgeable then you can do a lot. There have been students in the last few graduating classes that even placed implants. I am currently doing an AEGD in Cincinnati.Thanks for responding
haha sometimes you don't think of questions while you're at an interview! no big deal
Thank you so much for the in depth response to my questions! Pitt sounds great and I like the fact that a highly motivated student can gain additional experience to support their clinical interests
I am!
I did, missed it though, she said to call back ASAP but she was out.
I left a message.
I received an email.
What was it?
an interview invitation
!You get to have two fifteen minute one on one interviews with faculty and then you get to have lunch with a faculty member for about 30 minutes. The interviews were open file and they asked me questions directly from my application. All three of the faculty I was paired with were extremely nice and it was a great experience!Can anyone who has interviewed at Pitt describe the interview format? Informal vs formal.. one v one or group interviews, adcoms only or in with established students, etc.! OR could you send me a URL for an SDN thread that has already asked/answered this question this cycle (because I couldn't find any for myself!) Thanks
Thanks!
