Part 1 87, Part 2 81, TOEFL 99, Citizen, 37 years old
Got accepted this year, so everyone with low GPA it can be done , what made me get accepted can make anyone get too, keep trying and it will happen one day, when u least expect it.

Hi DFBund, Congratulations and thanks for your support, I had my NBDE part 1 last January and I got 91 but I have a 2.32 GPA which worries me but I also have Msc. Orthodontics and they gave me 3.23 on it, now you made me feel much better.
MY question is that do you think I need to take NBDE II also?

 

[dentheartthrob]

yes, it can be done

I think if u take ur part 2 u will get interview invitations from most of the schools u apply to.
When anyone in the interview seat, scores dont matter no more.

Hi all,

I have a low ECE GPA of 2.34 and WES GPA of 3.48. I'm not sure why there is such a huge discrepancy here. I have done my Masters in Public Health (GPA:3.87). I'm giving my NBDE 1 and 2 this year and will be applying to schools thereafter. I have MPH academic research papers/projects relating to dental professional shortage areas, tooth loss in diabetics, and oral health disparities in african american children. How are my chances to get thru if I get a good NBDE score? Also, in my resume and conversations with the faculty or PD at the school shud I mention my WES GPA too? Or shud I have an explanation ready for my low ECE GPA, or both?

I would really like to hear good views and insights!!!!

Thanks!!!!!

my gpa is 2.49, toefl 110, part1 was 85 and part2 80. I did my MPH to help improve my gpa, my gpa is 3.6 and i applied to colleges which asked for both part 1 & 2 scores.....practiced for the practical test and finnally after a lot of rejections gt accepted in UMDNJ............

try applying for MPH programs which give scholarships for international students coz this will reduce the amount fee you hav to pay. you can pm me if u hav any more questions........

 

[tangytasha]

Hi Shater,

I had done my MPH from a school of public health. The advantage of doing tht is firstly a school is accredited as compared to a dept. Also, there are more research grants avaailable so, if you work on any of them as a research asst., you get full/partial tuition waiver plus some basic salary to pay for your living expenses. You can find out more by looking at each individual school of PH on the http://www.asph.org/ website. Let me know if you have questions after tht and I will be happy to answer them

Did any one here get interviewed with a 3.4 gpa or lower for dental school??? and a DAT score of 16-17?? is there a chance that NYU will accept or any other dental school??

 

[AimingDDS]

Well I was surprised to find out this. I had my credentials evaluated (course by course) 10 yrs ago by ECE and got my GPA of 3.67. Due to some commitments I could not pursue my studies and after all these yrs, I decided to get back to books and made a new ECE application for evaluation (General). With exactly the same set of papers submitted, I get a new GPA of 3.33, and I am still trying to figure out why. Can anyone pls suggest what to do?

 

[deepakkumar]

Hi I am a dentist from India with an masters degree (MDS) in Endodontics. My scores however haven't been great in either BDS or MDS. I scored an aggregate of 55.75 in BDS and 60 in MDS (minimum pass marks being 50 in both). I passed both BDS and MDS in one go without any attempts. I have one year experience as a consultant endodontist since my PG got over and have been a senior lecturer since March 2015. I also have done a 2 week certificate course in current concepts in american dentistry from NYU, New York. I am not sure about the GPA scenario and I have a feeling based on my marks my GPA won't be good. (somewhere around 2 for BDS and 2.3 for MDS). I am planning on taking NBDE part I in 3 months but is it really worth it or is my GPA going to ruin my chances of getting accepted into any dental school there? I took TOEFL in March 2014 and score 102 in it.

Please let me know your views on this. I would appreciate any and every advice I get from you guys. Thanks a lot!

Hey swa74.
Yeah, I'm just wondering ... how did you make it out of dental school with a sub-2.0 GPA. Where did you graduate from ?
Anyways, there IS light at the end of the tunnel. DO NOT GIVE UP !
If I were you, I would call the admission offices of ALL the dental school advanced standing programs (or e-mail them) and ask them driectly, right in the face, if GPA's in general (not yours specifically) would negatively affect an application.
I know right of the back of my head of 3 schools which do not even factor in oversea GPA's for admission (PM me if you need to know more).
Otherwise, if your mind is set for the hygiene program, then I wish you the best of luck, and you will find pou please tell me lenty of imformative threads here on the pre-requisites/deadlines and so forth.
I hope it helps.
Good Luck.

Hi Everybody,

I am still wondering about my chance to be accepted in the dental school cause my GPA is 2.18. I applied at the end of 2017-2018 cycle just with NBDE1 and Toefl 97, and I did not receive any response. I have 13 years experience and 1.5 years working as a dental assistant in IS.
I applied to the new cycle and I am planning to take part 2 . My big problem with GPA.
Please any suggestion cause I am not sure that I did not receive any response from any school for the previous cycle due to my low GPA or because I applied late at the end of the cycle. Please any good analysis, suggestion or help to improve my GPA situation.
