thanks ann.during their interview,they told us they had 8 seats,but may have moreit seems last yr. they had 12.so,i think everyone has a really good chance.i encourage people to apply,as the college is really nice and it's definitely cheaper.i was also accepted at nyu,so i'll be withdrawing from there today.......as far as florida residents,yes i was living in florida,at the time of application,but moved later....i don't think it makes a huge difference .....my stats...nbde..91.toefl..260...gpa.3.44.if anyone has any other qustions,please let me know....

Congrats
!So, does this school give u a DDS degree or is it a certificate program like in illinois, Chicago? 😕
Thanks!
thanks dental doc,
nova does give you you a dds degree,that's why it's a long....3 yr course....but ur not stuck in florida
this is another school in florida,in gainsville i think,which gives u a diploma(2yrs),but ofcourse the catch is u can;t leave fl.

This another school in florida,which gives us a diploma is still a 2 yr accredited program right?.... so some states allow the students who has done any sort of 2 yr accredited program to take their licensing exam & practice..Are u aware of it? can u share what do u think? I am afraid whether that school will accept only florida residents 😕
hey dental doc,i can only share with u what's on the website of this school(go to www.dental.ufl.edu and click on international),cause as far as i know,the dentist about whom i know and have passed out from that school are practising in florida.
first of all,you must be a florida resident to apply here(either gc or us cititzen)
on their website they do mention that some states do accept this diploma,no names have been mentioned.it is totally upto to u to find out which ones and what r their policies.....
also they say if you r planning to do postgraduate or specialty training they strongly recommend u do their 4 yr dmd program,for which they accept 2 students per yr.
for their diploma program they accept 14 students each yr......
that's all the info i have,but u can definitely do some research....u never know what u might find.....

hi dental doc

Thanks smilee 🙂
I am surprised that UOP( & others?) has the certificate Program!
Yeah I agree with u very much that they r only certificate programs & equally expensive. But the point is we can practice after 2 yrs in many states whichever allows(& also it's less competetive to get in I beleive), instead of wasting one more year & aiming for the degree program(& god knows whether I will get in after waiting (wasting) one or more year) 😱
So the only difference is all states don't allow this certificate for practicing but still it is allowed in some states(I have to "research" which all alllows them). Other than this I don't know what the drawback is....
hi
right!!but DDS makes u feel more secure ....is it not..!???!!i guess even for the certification programme u will be able to apply only 4the year 2005
(iam not very sure abt all the schools but ive got an application form of one school for which the dead line is oct 2004 and u will join in 2005)
In that case u can apply even to the advanced standing programme simultaniously !!!dont get discouraged and apply to as many schools as u can u will def get accepted somewhere!!!all the best !!

Thank u very much for the kind words 🙂
Yes I will be applying for the 2005 class..& I will be applying for all the schools, eventhough my preference is for a degree program but what I meant is I won't reject becos it's a certificate program & wait another yr (hoping to join a degree program) 😱
I wish u luck

smilee said:ok .in that case u can call up the university of pacific school of dentisry and ask them for the application
tel 415-929-6688 415-929-6428
thanks again smilee! 🙂
I will do that. Pls let me know if u find more such 2 yr certificate programs other than in Chicago & florida.
smilee said:iam sorry !!university school of pacific is in california not in chicago.i just got confused!!
Oh, So UOP in California doesn't have the certificate course?
As far as I know florida & chicago has one for sure.
smilee said:i dont know abt uop!!!but the school i told u is in california!!
Hi smile,
I exactly meant the same UOP-University of pacific which is in California 🙂
So, r u applying for the certificate program there?
hey smiley,
do u know ur classmates who have been accepted at nova?are they all florida residents?
also at the time of interview were all candidates from florida or were there students from outside states too.
i am asking this as it will help all of us who want to decide whether we shud to apply to nova......as most of us donot want to waste money and documents on ignorant applications.....
so if we have some idea abt whether there is preference given to florida residents we might as well think twice before applying....
ur info will be of help...
thanks...

hi starwars,
i have been accepted at nova too,i have mentioned this earlier,i was in florida at the time of application but later moved out. i know that smilee is not from florida,but from virginia.there were quite a lot of applicants from fl,but i don't think they put that much emphasis on fl residents otherwise neither smliee nor i would be in.....
they have as many as 8 to 10 seats,so i feel its deinitely worth a shot,it's a good school and relatively cheaper.....

Yep,
I live nearby to the university. I called them up at the same number that you mentioned. The school is also the same (Univ of Pacific). She told me that she is working in that univ for quite some time and she does not know of any certificate program. It seems there is only one program for International dentists (2 year where they award DDS degree)

in case u appear only for part 1 then do u have to pay more at the college or any other catch?
pls do clear this thing for me guys...
