Hi shellac10

I gather from another thread that your part 1 score is 79. Honestly I don't think anyone will get a call from any school with that score. This years cut off score in various dental schools are between 86-93, as I have gathered from this forum. Having both part 1 & 2 scores not going to change anything with that score. So my advice would be to retake part 1. I have a score of 86 and didn't get admissin in any school this year. I will be retaking part 1 before 2006 admission cycle deadline. If you are restarting part 1 studies start with a subject you are comfortable with but should move to Biochem and DA soon.

Sorry if I am little blunt here. Good luck :luck:

Hi rahmed

I know what u mean .Honestly even I know, I dont stand a chance with this score .I appreciate your advise 😉
I think I want the easier way out but should not expect any miracles . I dont have any choice , but to improve my score which is gonna be really tough but I am gonna give it a try. :luck:
I was wondering what schools did u apply to and how many interviews did u get .People say NYU is easier as compared to others .Any advise to improve my score
I am not an active member of this site but have read a no. of mails and feel there r more good people in this world than bad.
Best of luck for your admission :luck:

Hi

I have already adviced you about preparation. It all depends on time you have. YOU HAVE TO CRAM EVERYTHING OF DENTAL DECK 2004 AND SOLVE ALL ASDA RELEASED QUESTIONS. You have no choice about this. By doing this you can push you score to 85-88 level. Realistically you need 90+ or 92 to get a seat. So if you have to do something additionally. My recommendations are 1) However hard it is go through Lippincotts Biochemistry. 2) If you can then join Kaplan 3 months course. They give you a review book. I heard it is very helpful. Also you get Kaplan online Q bank with course. I found that most valuable. 3) Depending on your level of base knowledge you will have to do some additional study (whichevr is your weak subject)

Lastly you have to make DDS advanced standing program your mission. I think lots of forum members will agree with that. It ain't no half-hearted effort!! 😀 😀

I had interviews at UPenn and NYU. But just getting an interview call is meaningless 😳 . One has to get an offer of acceptance. Isn't that it is all about?

Good luck 👍

hi prady

I was wondering if u could tell me a little bit more about Colorado .On what basis do they call for interview? I have a score of 79% and have done my part2 and have experience back home .I am pretty confident about my clinical abilities but I have sincere doubts if they will call me at such a low score. Do let me know what u think ?

I would appreciate a feed back from u
Take care

Hi profile76

Thanks. I am still waiting to hear from NYU. And taking part 2 in a month's time. NYU have called few people with 85, so you should get a call soon.

Good luck

Hi,
Don't worry, I don't have great score as you do. And also I don't have partII. It's just that I live close to Colorado, I guess, so I got the letter early. The postage date is 05/25, so you can count when you'll get it. The date of the interview is June/18 if anyone wants to know. You'll get it soon, I'm sure.
Best.

Hey,
All those who received interview letters from Colorado...Can you please post your scores?

Thanks!
 
🙂 Well my friends came home after spending a fab memorial day weekend (in and around Disney World...My old friend Mickey is doing fine 😍 ). More surprises and worries were waiting here. Surprise....Got an interview call from Colorado 😀 & Worry...What's going to happen at the practical test 😕 ?? I have been asked to contact Jane Miller by 1st of June to confirm the interview which is scheduled on June 18 (by the school). The interview letter dated May 16 is a snail mail with May 25 as postmark. That means the assessment was done on the basis of my Part 1 score + other credentials (last week I mailed my Part 1+2 scores to Colorado).

My stats:
NBDE: 86 (I)/ 83 (II)
TOEFL: 273
GPA: 3.79

Good luck to all my friends who are waiting :luck:

I received a letter from Univ of Colorado for interview on 18th June.

In efforts to check the status of application, I constantly use to make
phone calls to them, though 95% time it went to voice-mails. But around
24th/25th they told me over phone that I have been shortlisted for
interview and that I would be receiving a formal letter shortly.

So all you guys waiting for a call from U of Colorado, go ahead and start
making phone calls.

My scores:
NB Part 1: 89
TOEFL: 240
 
i came to know from a friend of mine that uc,denver have despatched a group of letters for the forthcoming interview.they r gonna send another group of letters later!so guys, hope for the best! 👍

Those who got the interview, did you guys recieved e-mails with all the information yet? When I called yesterday she was writing e-mail, so I thought she was supposed to send it out, but I still didn't get anything.

Hi ,
