Hi Miriam, first of all CONGRATULATIONS, You may ask why? or what is this guy trying to tell me? is he out of his mind?

Out of my Mind? not at all and IF I AM WRONG ABOUT THE NEXT SENTENCES please correct me.

First of all lets begin to analize your question. You want me to give you a Humble advice ( and so I will certainly do later on here) but lets first get back to yourself.

I may know nothing NOTHING about you !!! but there is a sincere sign of WILLINGNESS.

Desire, Wish, DREAMMMMMMMMMM however you may want to call this awakening sensation inside of you.

PSYCHIC? Not at all, its just common sense, lets break it down further to see how it, and in this specific case, your emotions and the way they are integrated:

1.- Had you given up, you wouldnt even have wasted the time in checking out this thread anymore.

2.- You are looking for advice, AND Certainly among the well studied Psychological specialists it is Clear that ONE OUT OF THE MANY CERTAIN WAYS TO SEEK SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM IS ACTUALLY RECOGNIZING ONE HAS IT. In this case, Your desire to fulfill a Dream of becoming accepted into an Advanced Standing Program. Not because you would like to frame the Damm "letter of acceptance" but because of where it will Take you in the Future as a Professional, AND WHAT IT WILL MAKE FROM YOU AS A PERSON.
Better academic and professional profile, becoming active again as a Dentist, and why not fulfilling your AMERICAN DREAM

3.- Keeping in Mind you will get accepted, This is actually one of the resources you are utilizing that I STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOT TO GIVE UP USING.

Recently I read, a very interesting book I suggest you read, its called "MOZARTS BRAIN AND THE FIGHTER PILOT" By best seller author and neuro-psychiatrist Richard Restak MD. well in this wonderful book one of the interesting topics is about what the author defines as "FUTURE MEMORY"
it gets about a study which revealed that those individuals who clearly imagine how they plan to perfom on a certain situation in the future, makes them actually create inside their minds a VIRTUAL or Imaginary Sceneario where they can interact with the different obstacles they set themselves to achieve a certain goal. well after this individuals did so, when they confronted to the real scenerio, not only they perfomed amazingly syncronized but they also were more secure about their decisions and ultimately reached certain goals.
to put it to perspective its like when you like a pair of shoes and you buy them suddenly you start seing many people carrying the sames shoes in the streets.
This is also to help you understand how the potential of our minds can help us reach the resources we need to fulfill our dreams on a daily and continous basis.
Another thing I would suggest is how the Late Ronald Reagan use to say "HAVE GRACE UNDER PRESSURE" and by this he meant to give it a smile when the times get hard, another firend of mine which is currently becoming a celebrity here in my country since he is doing like a miracle with our NATIONAL SOCCER TEAM, on a recent conversation with him he told me he had teached the soccer players not to become paralized and scared when playing against the ALMIGHTY BRAZILIAN TEAM
he said very clear to me and those words atually still resounding in my mind "FEAR PARALIZES AND YOU NO LONGER GET CREATIVE, WHEN YOU ARE HAPPY YOU CAN BE CREATIVE" this actually applies to our daily lives, not just inside the soccer field.
Remenber fear triggers a chain of physiological reactions that will most likely drive you into the well known Fight or Flight reaction. not convenient when you set yourself in a frame of time between 4 to 9 months to tackle the NBDE

My Advice and I do concur with Lazaro is to take Part 2 again, and get an ABOVE NATIONAL average which If I remember well is around 79 for part 2.

Apply again for the coming uptakes, review and redraw out from scratch your Statement of purpose (if it is not well Written it may hamper your chances) and become more competitive, you can do assisting and this will generate Reference Letters get into a Frame of Mind for learning EAT WELL AND REST WELL, EXCERSIZE IF POSSIBLE, AND BE STRICTLY DISCIPLINED WHEN IT COMES TO STUDYING FOR THE TESTS

Getting back to the basics I can tell you that there is by no MEANS a better resource than to motivate yourself, MOTIVATION IS THE KEY ELEMENT

I hope to have given you a humble but keen tip on how to address your personal Situation.

Kind Reagards,
