Hey a friend of mine asked Boston... They said competitive score is 100 but score should be more than 84. So I think you can because she did too.
Thanks Odont , do you have any idea whether does Boston accept candidates with part 1?
hey, sorry i don't have much idea. But i read in some other forum that atleast 80% interviewees had cleared part 2
Hey sorry I didnt see ur query earlier.
I have heard of applicants being accepted with part 1 and toefl less than 100. But I do believe the reason has to be that their profile on a whole was strong as in SOP , LOR and work experience. Having high toefl (>100) and part 2 increase your chances but to what extent that can't be predicted.
My stats are: BDS, MDS (Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery), India.
Work experience post MDS is 4 years, volunteer a dentist in Canada for since 6 months.
3 publications and more than 10 conferences attendance. 2 poster and 2 paper presentations.
NBDE 1, TOEFL 99.
Do I stand any chance
Hey your stats look great , you deserve a call from BU. I think you stand a better chance then fresh graduates applying with minimal experience.
All the best.👍
Thanks for the wishes drKJ
Did anyone else receive an IV call?

LOR is supposed to be written by someone who has supervised you in clinical and academic set up, so you can't use a letter from faculty who never taught or trained you.
also most schools have a requirement of 1 letter to come from Dean of the institute you graduated from. Advise to you would be to contact BU and tell them about your case and may be they can let you use LOR from ex-faculty/Dean of the school OR you can just get letters from the ex-faculty ,their position might have changed but they are still dentists who can submit an evaluation for you.
What kind of questions do they ask in interview? How should one prepare?
No idea, with all the silence here it's down to assumptions and guesswork.
If they haven't called the 2nd batch yet then it's likely they will call 27 oct iv batch in coming week , 3 or 4 oct. (if they follow last year thread)
Someone posted on FB group that he is invited for 11/3 batch... they already called till November.
