Thanks! very useful info!The information was obtained from the 2009 ADEA Official Guide to Dental Schools.
None from Russia... how sad.
Thank you for the information...do you know if the number of enrolled students were the ones with advanced standing or just non-permanent residents with US bachelors degrees?
3 north koreans @ uop. interesting, i've never seen one in my life.
shocking!!
NYUCD out of 200+
only FOUR??
Hm..what about this cycle?

wow, just 101 Canadian! I was thinking would be much more than that.
3 North Koreans in USC and 4 in NYU?? Is this real??
I'm just curious.
Good stuff, I wonder what 2009 entering statistics will be. As an international student it means a lot to have at least one person from your home that you can relate to
Would you like those numbers to be different or are you having a hard time with the cardinal direction?
I thought N.Korean can't live or stay in US. I could be wrong though.

With a common sense, I believe the N. Koreans are those who are from the territory above the North Korea. Actually, they are not North Koreans.
Maybe, I am wrong!
One thing I am sure is that they are anyway very sucessful people. However, it's also noticeable that they are still rare. Hm....Good to know about it, and it is very impressive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only Four s. Korean at NYU...
But 23 total international out of 200 at NYU...
I thought N.Korean can't live or stay in US. I could be wrong though.
So, it means a lot of Canadian students will also attend NYU.
Among them, I believe the majority of them are also Korean.
So, I am now interested in how many Koreans will attend NYU in my class. And, I will soon figure it out by opening a new thread unless there is a new thread concerning the simliar issue.
I hear the Koreans at PENN are the most cut throat of them all..
visbimmer, do us all a favour and associate with non-koreans too, and share study materials indiscriminately the stereotypes are horrible.
but yeh, i wonder how this year's cycle is going to be..
and also, does any one know if this includes ppl with residency (green card) or if this only includes kids on visa status?
this post looks great but i can't just believe the numbers of koreans are smaller than i expected.. or maybe i had a very high expectation of international students acceptance rate (obviously i'm an international student as well..)

Green card holders are not international students. They are pretty much equal to the citizens in essential things like getting federal loans, residence of the state, etc.
If I look at my school from the list, I think they considered green card holders as international students.
Which school is it?
Green card holders are considered permanent residents in the States and the schools that don't accept international students say they accept US citizens or permanent residents. PRs are eligible for FAFSA as well. As far as I know, they are different from US citizens in not being able to vote and receive some benefits from the state (there are probably other things, too).

I am not sure how ADEA compiled stats in their book and whether they included green card holders under "international enrollees"...I know. But in this list, ADEA included permanent residents. Even if they are permanent residents, they still have a foreign passport. I think thats why ADEA considered them as international students. That's my guess.
Why doesn't it make sense? I am sure some North Koreans get out of their country and are able to live somewhere else.As a south Korean, it makes no sense to me that north koreans even come to United States. Most of them can barely survive from starvation! There may be some errors with the statistics with LLU, because I know personally couple of international south koreans, who were accepted to it last year.
I'm bit confused. I checked the list in attached file. Many schools from the list does not even accept undergraduate degree or couses outside US or Canada !!! How come they have international student? Are these students graduated from undergraduate school from US as International student and continuing their educational career in dental school? or these are internatioal dentist enrolled in advanced standing program?
At least one school I know (NYU), they do not accept undergraduate degrees from outside US. But they do have Advanced Standing program for International dentist. Bit strange but that's their policy !!!
My specific interest in schools who accept undergraduate degrees from outside US or Cananda and also sponser some kind of student visa. If anyone has any information, please post it here.

yes, i think those numbers reflect mostly the students that went to undergrad in US but are here only on an F1 visa...most schools I looked at don't accept international undergrads...or if they do, they want you to have at least the requirements taken at an American college...but as far as those numbers, I'm almost confident they are not the advanced standing dentists, but just internationals with American degrees...or at least I like to see it that way...
I find it very awkward though that there are hardly any Europeans...a few Africans, very few South Americans....mostly Asians, and even those, not South or Central Asia...is this becoming a profiling thing? What happened to the rest of the world? are they not even applying or they're just ignored if they're not South Koreans?

Before you develop a massive MI over the perceived "profiling" you might want to consider that each year's crop is a roll of the dice. For the class entering 2007 there were many countries not represented in 2008. Here's an alphabetical list for you. At least one country's representative should warm your heart. Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Columbia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Ghana, Haiti, Israel, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Laos, Mexico, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Peru, Romania, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Syria, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan, Venezuela and Zimbabwe.
There are 4 Koreans in Harvard?? Interesting...
is there a new one?
