I think yo shud go ahead and apply to the dental schools. and dependig on the response u get u can decide whether to retake the part 1. But I feel these scores shud help u get into a dental school without any problems.
good luck
itsme
yeah anie i think u should go ahead and apply to BU. they mainly look at ur part 1 scores but since ur part 2 scores are pretty good u might stand a better chance than someone who has the same part 1 score but not a good part 2 score. depends on whether u really want to retake part 1 and are confident that u will do well this time around! i for one dont think i can take part 1 twice! december 2003 is my best and only shot at it!
If you plan to do a post graduate program later on, I think you should just go ahead and re-take part 1.
Does someone with a 84 in part 1, 277 TOEFL, 3.6 GPA, top of the class, plenty of work experience, plenty of hospital voluntary experience HAS A CHANCE SOMEWHERE????
(other than NYU, of course) PD: I'm a minority (in case it helps 🙄
If my pocket allows me
, I'll be applying to these schools:
UCLA, UCSF, UOP, BU, NOVA, NYU, UPennand Marquette. What do you think? Pleaseeeee, tell me what are my chances of getting anywhere. 😕
I've been reading all the threads and have contacted most schools and all of them seem to agree that only people with 90+ on part 1 can get anywhere. All the schools tell me that most of who get in are in 90+. I've gotten that answer from Nova, BU, Case Western, UOP, etc... How true is this???😕
ok, bye now

UCSF
Apply early
Practice well for the didactics
Prepare for part 2 ( so you can do well in the theory exam too ).

BU, UPENN starts clincals after 8 months, whereas UCSF starts clincals after 3 months into the program.
i heard tufts is pretty good as far as actual clinical experience is concerned...BU is more theory-oriented and pre-clinical. but then it has a higher intake of intl students and has lesser requirements. tufts needs part 2 scores too.
i have been to tufts and taken a look around....believe me the facilities and infrastructure are great! but then i havent seen any other dental school here yet!!!
