I'm sorry but I do not believe in 'stats' sharing because since these threads are meant for international students from different countries not just one country and different countries run different academic programs and the dental schools here in America know this.So things like comparing GPAs for example are not very beneficial, your GPA will be compared with those of people from your country or those who run similar programs.The only standard thing that might be worth comparing might be the TOEFL and your personal statements which are more impt. than a lot of people might think. I think the impt. thing is to know the NBDE requirements for the schools you apply to. I know NYU did not publisize it but their cut off this year was 85.
As per being called for interviews, I didn't get the vibe that they are stopping so soon , keep your hopes high, you never know, miracles do happen! I got my interview call end of jan. 09 while some people got theirs middle dec.08.
We were told they have 125 seats for foreign trained dentists but we were not told how many seats have already been filled.I don't think they have filled any yet since I don't think they have sent out acceptance letters yet ---to the best of my knowledge.
