Based on percentiles released at the end of last year’s testing cycle, that’s around the 85th percentile. What score is considered competitive? That I can’t tell you.
Maryland is a good program and Dr. Tordik is very nice if you don't mind 3 years of training and a little expensive COA
Thank you for the insight. I hope my comment didn't come across wrong. I just didn't want anyone to accidentally pay to send board scores to the wrong e-mail address while they are updating the website.
Maybe this is ambitious of me, but I am trying to have my apps in by next week. This is a screenshot of UoP's Admissions site, and it's a *little* concerning:
Why is this concerning?
Their deadline is July 11, 2018. That's about 1.5 months to submit, and have them review one's application (and maybe a few hundred others more) before interview invites are offered.
@MidwestOwl and @DrDientes, exactly why I was saying that UoP's deadline was concerning given that most programs have rolling admissions. Are either of you current residents or recent Endo grads? I'm trying to get a feel for the what makes an applicant stand out and the likelihood of getting into a program.
FYI, I was also informed by PASS that ADAT scores will not be uploaded until September. Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere.
My transcripts were received by PASS as well! I guess it doesn't take them that long to process them. Submitted my application today and mailed off the secondary application checks.
When looking at the score interpretation guide from ADA, it looks like the scores associated with each percentile are comparable from 2016-2017 so I anticipate 2018's will be similar. That should help you understand where you stand but as Big Time Hoosier stated previously, it's a bit unclear on what score is considered competitive.Hi guys! How was your ADAT scores? I graduated long time ago and I did really bad.
I just referred to each school's website. Some I e-mailed, some I physically mailed.
They usually interview 3-4 ppl for 1 spot. Most programs receive 100ish applications every year, interview 15-20 ppl for 3-6 seats. From my experience last year:

UNC: interviewed 12 for 3 seats
WVU: interviewed 11-12 for 2
Rutgers: 15-18 for 5
Columbia: 25 for 6
UConn: 13-14 for 3
Maryland: cant remember
2-3 years ago, UNC invited 12 for interview but only 5 ppl showed up because they interviewed so late in the cycle. As a result the interview: acceptance ratios might change depending on how late the schools interview in the cycle. Hints: schools do interview earlier and earlier every year....
I received mine in about 2 weeks but there was no notice of score availability. I found them on the DENTPIN website.
Same for me.... just on Dentpin account, So did you send the official score to the programs, or a snapshot from Dentpin account?
I did list all the programs I was applying for when I initially registered for the exam. I've been calling directly to each program to confirm my application package is considered complete. For some of them, I did send a snapshot from Dentpin as a pre-cautionary measure based on the recommendation of the administrative aid.
I sent to some of them after the exam and some with the snapshot....What is your score? any idea on how they will use it since they dont have percentiles yet....
The percentiles will probably differ little from the previous two testing cycles, just like the second cycle differed little from the first.
Best bet would probably be to contact the programs. Some of mine said they would already start reviewing applications and others said they're going to wait a little longer.Anybody know if submitting the application by 3rd or 4th week of June is gonna be too late? Still waiting on letters to complete the application. Thanks in advance
