No invitation for interviewDid you receive an invite for interview before or o my this mail of hold?
This is my first time participating in the MATCH process. As far as I understand, I need to complete and certify my ranking list; that is all, correct? Additionally, I've noticed there is an "interview list" that displays scheduled interviews, but it seems this list isn't commonly utilized. Is my understanding accurate?
I have the same question. What should we do with interview list?This is my first time participating in the MATCH process.

What is the tuition and fee for the 3-year program? Is there a stipend available? Can you attain in-state status after one year? Additionally, what is the average monthly cost of a studio?When compared to a cheaper 3-year program, are the more expensive (100k+ total tuition) 2-year programs still worth it financially? I understand the extra year of income is favorable but just wondering. Would love opinions on this!
You pay first to register..how programs know your match number? Because you should have registered earlier and put it on Adea PassThis might be a dumb question but to rank you just search every program you interviewed at and rank them making sure its the right one and then you pay right? I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything
NoDid anyone hear back from Maimonides?
If I match I'll let you know!For the people who didn’t match in the past and interviewed this cycle, why do you think it didn’t work out for you? Did you do anything differently this time?
Just my 2 cents, I would rank Tufts over UIC.Friends, help me rank UIC and Tufts . What are your thoughts?
whichever you liked the most I guess?Friends, help me rank UIC and Tufts . What are your thoughts?
I believe so!So as long as we submit our ranked programs on the Match site and have the green bar at the top saying the list has been certified, we don’t have to do anything further after that and just wait until the 20th?
It will be sent around 8 am est and it will either say you matched or didn’t. Then you login if you do match, and it will be there!Does anyone know what time match results officially come out? I thought that it was at 8am normally, but it said 12pm when I was submitting my rank order list. Also, do we find out where we match in the same email?
Last year I received the match email at 7:17am CST (so right after 8am EST). The email itself will tell you where you matched (or at least it did last year), you do not have to go on the match website unless you are trying to find out which schools have postmatch spots later on in the day. They say you will receive it "by 12 EST" incase the email comes later, but the past few years I've heard it has always come out slightly after 8am EST.It will be sent around 8 am est and it will either say you matched or didn’t.

For post match spots that may be unfilled after the match, does one contact the program(s) to show interest only if they have already been interviewed there, or is it open to anyone even if they haven’t been interviewed/applied?Last year I received the match email at 7:17am CST (so right after 8am EST).

2 year and cheap programsI am applying next year. What are some of the top or reputable programs out there?
I know all programs are difficult to get into but I am curious what are the highly sought out places. I’m guessing Michigan, UNC, but not sure of the others.
UNC, Michigan, UCSF, Harvard, UConn, UCLA, and others are three-year research programs, ideal for individuals aiming to pursue careers in academia.I am applying next year. What are some of the top or reputable programs out there?

Any thoughts on Saint Louis, Houston, A&M, and UMKC in terms of program quality and how competitive you need to be to get an interview?UNC, Michigan, UCSF, Harvard, UConn, UCLA, and others are three-year research programs, ideal for individuals aiming to pursue careers in academia.
VCU, Iowa, Oklahoma, UAB, Augusta, Temple, and other 2 to 2.5-year cost-effective programs are often ideal for individuals aspiring to pursue private practice careers. Not only are they shorter, but they also typically involve seeing more patients, providing a stronger preparation for faster-paced private practice settings.

I think GME (graduate medical education) programs are hospital-based programs that tend to prefer applicants with years of work experience.Any advice for someone looking to apply for the next cycle?
General dentist with 16 years of experience. Took the boards before they were Pass/Fail, have not taken the GRE yet. I wouldn't even know how to get an institutional evaluation letter -- the Dean of my dental school has long since been replaced and any professors that may have remembered me have either moved onto other schools or are, sadly, not with us anymore.
Does anyone know of any programs that may give preference, however slight, to practicing dentists as opposed to newly graduated dentists?
Thanks!
It is open to everyone. You typically would contact the program directly, however with so many applicants it isn't overly likely to actually get in touch with anyone. Last year (other than GSO) there was only one available post match spot. I called and left a voicemail and sent an email to the program director, I did get an email back about a week later that just said "thanks". From my understanding of people who have been successful with post match, it is more common that you have already applied but did not interview or you know someone who vouches for you at that program.For post match spots that may be unfilled after the match, does one contact the program(s) to show interest only if they have already been interviewed there, or is it open to anyone even if they haven’t been interviewed/applied?
About St. Louis I have heard that you do not get many patients.Any thoughts on Saint Louis, Houston, A&M, and UMKC in terms of program quality and how competitive you need to be to get an interview?
It depends how much you are serious about it. Give your best shot by taking GRE and applying as many schools as you can. However, because of the competetive nature of this process, my advice is apply for an orthodontic fellowship program meanwhile, in case you did not succeed to get in somewhere in the upcoming cycle, you will increase your chance to be matched for the next cycle.Any advice for someone looking to apply for the next cycle?

I was told by a faculty at Houston that they received 300 applications this past cycle. I think he said they only interviewed 30 candidates.Any thoughts on Saint Louis, Houston, A&M, and UMKC in terms of program quality and how competitive you need to be to get an interview?
Is there a comprehensive list of the orthodontic fellowships that are offered at different schools and the cost?It depends how much you are serious about it.

ahhh good to know. Thank you!I regret not going to a p/f school after seeing HOW MANY of p/f students get interviews while a 3.7 from a very toxic school doesn't appeal to most of the programs.
It’s nice to see I’m not the only one with cold feet about their rank list..Is it too late to drop a school from the list already submitted
