I had trouble even figuring out how to apply. Called the program director, emailed, called other ppl, searched the website. Just got the run around until I gave up:mad:

Luckily I found this website, otherwise I'd have no idea what interviews I wasn't getting! :( Has anyone heard from Temple?

I was wondering if those who have gotten interviews to ortho programs could post their stats (board scores and class rank and research) and the school that offered them the interview please. Thank you in advance

Don't worry if you didn't receive an interview invite even though the schools that you've applied to have already sent them out. All is not lost. Not everyone can make it to all of their interviews, and as they begin to cancel their invites, schools will keep moving down on their wait/alternate list. Last year I had three schools with overlapping interview dates....had to pick one and cancel the other two (it was a tough decision). Also, I remember getting some interview invites to schools with only a weeks notice.
Good luck everyone!
 
Has anyone heard from USC?

The ortho program just barely got the box of application last week. They wont be sending out invites until probably later this week.

Thanks for the great advise Jyaki. It's nice to know there is still hope for those of us that haven't gotten any invites yet. It makes the waiting period a little easier.
 
For those who despair, have faith.
While I didnt get in anywhere, I did get 2 interviews(only went to one, as i did not realize you had to be fluent in Spanish for the other one and it was in P.R.)
Part I: 81
Part II:80
GPA: 3.45
Rank: 24/56
Research: was in some at that time, but nothing published
Was in GPR at that time
Had scores of non-dental extracurricular- the director of one program was really impressed with my ballet for some reason
So yeah, I know i was on a wing and a prayer, but I kind of just did it to see what would happen.
None yet this year, but maybe I'll practice up on my spanish!
 
has anybody heard from indiana?
 
case western by email. october 24 (afternoon) or 25 (morning). social the night before.
 
UdeM :D by email today. Interview on Novembre 7th.
 
LSU emailed today. November 8 afternoon interview, OR November 9 morning interview. No mention of a social.

There will be a common social for ALL interviewees on the evening of Nov 8th.
Good luck and look forward to seeing you...
 
Noone has heard from Tufts yet? I called yesterday and they said the "letters will be going out soon." Strange, since their application was due in August. Does anyone know when they will be interviewing (if I'm lucky enough to get one!)?:luck:
 
UdeM :D by email today. Interview on Novembre 7th.

Je comprends pas! J'ai appellé Francine Roy au secrétariat aujourd'hui et elle m'a dit qu'ils allaient poster les invitations d'ici une couple de semaines!!

They usually interview the first week in November, and they are always the last/almost last interview invite sent out.
 
St. Louis emailed today, I guess they have decided to invite a few more!
 
Je comprends pas! J'ai appellé Francine Roy au secrétariat aujourd'hui et elle m'a dit qu'ils allaient poster les invitations d'ici une couple de semaines!!

Une minute! si je me trompe pas, Francine Jacques est retraitrée depuis le 1er Oct. Roy Johanne est en charge maintenant. Mais le reste est correct, j'ai appellé hier et on m a dit que il fallait attendre deux semaines. Une heure plus **** j'ai reçu l'email de convocation de Roy Johanne.
Peut-etre elle parlait de lettres officiels!

Bonne chance!

I emailed these 2 schools today:

University of Florida's interview: 11/5 or 11/6, interview invites mid-late october
USC: Invitations within next 2 weeks. Did not specify interview day.

*I heard through the grapevine that USC current residents received an evaluation sheet with a list of applicants...

This occurs at most/many programs. Directors want to make sure incoming residents mesh well with current residents, and the best way to ensure this is to get feedback directly from current residents.
 
Anyone heard from Jacksonville?
 
I'm thrilled...I just heard from Washington Hospital Center (by phone)!!!
 
USC via email Oct 25 social night before, though the email was sent at 11:30pm kinda wierd
 
has anybody heard from indiana?

I'm from Indiana, and I heard from members of the department that interviews will be on Nov. 9th (not sure about a social). They will release invites soon--they had one meeting this week to look at applications, I believe.
 
Invitation via snail mail 10/12. Interview 11/1 and dinner with the residents the night before.
 
sorry for the dumb question, but what exactly is snail mail?
 
to find snail mail look in your mail box outside; as opposed to your email inbox.
 
I received an invitation at Tufts for 11/2 (snail mail also). It seems they have 2 interview dates, but already choose the one they want you to attend. Good luck!

Accepted at Colorado, by phone call!! Official letter to come. Have until Oct.26th to respond. If I take it, need to drop out of Match. Sweet problem to have...:):cool:
 
Congrats on your acceptance! Where else did you get interviews?

Also - Marquette and Indiana have given out their interviews.
 
Thanks! I've interviewed (or will interview) in Iowa, South Carolina, Tennessee, Buffalo, St.Louis, St.Barnabas-NY
 
Has anyone been on any interviews yet? What types of questions are they asking?
