Should we write about CE courses attended or the self instruction CE courses taken, in PASS application? e.g in additional information section of PASS application?
Does anyone know if any of the CA programs actually need you to have taken WREB? I only have NERB so this would be a show stopper for me.
Question regarding PPI/PEF/LORs!
When the ADEA rep came to talk at our school, she said the PPIs were what most programs weighted the most. Thus, I asked my dental instructors to write me PPIs. For the PEFs, I asked my undergrad PI that I did 3 years of research with and am publishing with, and the director of our community health dept (she's a PhD) that I've worked closely with.
However, I've added two programs to my list that require 3 LORs to be sent to them directly. (These are 2 NYC Lutheran programs.) Does that mean they don't look at my PPI/PEF? If not, then I'd like two of my PPI instructors to write me LORs... but I don't want to look bad/stupid asking for another letter. They've given me copies of their PPIs, but I think that would look sloppy to mail to the Lutheran programs. Any help? Anyone else applying to Lutheran programs and in this predicament or have a solution?
ALSO -- have you guys had a hard time contacting the programs to ask questions? I call, no one returns calls or when they ask to call back, I'm in clinic.. Should I email?
This whole PPI/PEF/LOR situation is killing me.

Personally I would have the most "influential" people write my PEF's. Just makes sense to me. The PPI is essentially a survey with a few sections that you can write a paragraph in. Just my opinion!
Can anybody please help me out with this?
I am an international student and about to give my NBDE-II in September. I wish to apply to AEGD programs. Most of the programs to which I am applying have their deadlines around 1 October.
Should I wait for the NBDE-II results and apply just before the deadline (will take around 1 month to reach me and then to programs) or should I apply now with NBDE-I only (I am ready with all the PPI, PEF, LOR, SOP)
Basically I want to know what is more important in AEGD programs- early application or NBDE-II
