"...I mean is it really really difficult?"

Funny that you ask. Read this post by "wildwest", on a very old thread (from 04-14-2003, " US States where you can practice Dentistry after completing a 2 yr Speciality Program")

Let me quote him/her here:

Here is something from my experience. I did try applying
to these Masters programs last year... applied to as many
schools as possible. Inspite of my 'decent' performance in
the BDS from a foreign country, I was rejected by literally
every school.

When asked for the reason for rejection, many of them
said that they prefer a candidate with a GPR or an AEGD
experience, more so if it is an international student.

This is not to discourage you all, but just quoting my
experience.

Good luck guys!

Saddly wildwest doesn't hangs around SDN anymore, so we cannot ask him/her more details of his experience.

Good luck

Hi sreeb12,

I did not understand ur question. Advanced standing program and international dentist program are both open for foriegn trained dentists which wud culminate into a DDS or DMD. and normally the proceedure wud be to clear the NBDE in order to apply. incase u want to do the regular DDS, u need to take DAT and thats a totally different thing.
And from what i know its pretty much competitive.
