Some places want a photo sent to them, I think some require it on the actual CV, some are okay it being uploaded to pass, best to look it up on the pass site, and or email the program directly!
Not at all! I didn’t have my app in until I believe July
Typically they dont, depending on the context, thank you emails after interview id say 80 percent dont answer, questions about the program, depends on when you email, sometimes these are better directed at the program coordinator. Therefore, to answer your question, it depends on the nature of the email, and the time frame when you send it, in my experience.
Most of them are buried right now. They’re in the middle of graduating one class and onboarding another. Not to mention the fact that many programs are understaffed…
I always thought that when you applied for residency that pretty much all your evaluators are fellow dentists basically. Essentially they are using these evaluations to determine how you are as a person, student and clinician in a dentistry setting.
I know 5 internationals that got in this year all at different programs+ 3 internationals at my program last year and around 3 personally known to me the year before. So many places that I interviewed at had international students. This are just people I came across. There are certain programs that will absolutely not consider internationals. You got to just be careful and not apply there. There are some that will def accept internationals and have it on their website. Check the websites. Check previous posts. Talk to residents, email the programs you are interested in. You got this.
Seriously thank you ♥️ Im so tired of people telling me to not bother trying
You are not “non-traditional.” Half of pediatric dentistry residents had dental experience before residency.
Try to not go more than one page. Pick what you think really stands out and is most important and striking,
God.. aren’t you supposed to cover everything you’ve done, from dental school and until now? Im not straight out of dental school and i have experience and another degree so to cover everything has taken up two pages.. what should i do?
You’re missing the entire point of the personal statement. It is supposed to explain your motivation to specialize, not rehash every little detail that can be found on your CV.
No I don't think so, as long as the program's deadlines are still met. Peds is a match system so everyone who's interviewing is not late in regards to when they submit. I'm pretty sure.
I heard from a last year resident that we must submit application by end of July.
I would not say that's late as long as before the end of august, the earliest interviews happen in September if I recall correctly
Wow I didn't know that. Do you know why?
If it needs to be official, you’ll actually have to order a score report.
Nova has a deadline Aug 1 .
I suggest reading specifics in each school’s page through pass programs for peds. Some might say they require lor from at least one peds specialist (i cant remember right now). But the ones who do not specify are ok. I dont think its super important if they do not specifically require it. If the lors are good and state why they are a good candidate and can be successful in an academic program, its fine. Just make sure to have a really goor personal statement, saying why they want to do peds
where is the supplemental application for Nickalus? I am applying there but havent submitted yet, do you get the supplemental after submitting the initial through ADEA PASS?
Wondering the same thing, trying to figure out when to take it
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe most just require it before the December match deadline or else they will remove you from their rank list.
Send an email to [email protected] if you want to have your email and name recorded by the program.
Depends on how competitive you are as an applicant. I applied to 12 programs, got 10 interview invites. Someone else could apply to 12 and be lucky to get one. It also depends on how competitive the programs are. Are you applying to a bunch of NYU Langone community clinic programs? Or are you applying to programs at famous hospitals/universities?
I'd say a combination of both! I've applied to 20 so far and was wondering if I should add more to increase my chances. I consider myself an average applicant
There was an article in Pediatric Dentistry somewhat recently that reported about half of residents had some kind of practice experience before they started residency. Which schools favor that? I have no idea.
In my program about 1/3 to a quarter of the residents have experience typically, it really varies by year and by program
