Do the USA dental schools know your NBDE score?

i know that students get a pass or fail.
but the usa dental schools need to know the students score so they can compare one student against another and decide which one to accept and which one to reject.

is there a way to find out your score? im guessing that if you go for an interview, the guy across the table will open up your folder and see your resume and scores... include nbde part 2 and 1..

please let me know!

I don't think they can see your scores. From what I hear (may be completely wrong) is that you have to take another standardized test depending on the school and specialty. For example, the Oral Surg program at my school requires you take the medical boards as an "entrance exam" and they use those scores (among other things) to compare applicants. Maybe someone else can comment with some more/better/reliable information, but that's all I've heard.
