European Master of Engineering who wants to pursue dentistry as second career

[Marta.29]

Hello!

I have graduated from one of European Technical Universities with Masters degree in Engineering - Biotechnology. I am a green card holder and currently living in Atlanta, Georgia. I would love to pursue dentistry as my second career but I am having a hard time to find any data about similar cases (somebody who has graduated abroad and is trying to apply to a Dental School in USA). I already know that Dental School in Augusta will not accept my foreign degree.

Has anybody heard similar stories? Does anybody have a piece of advice for me where to start and/or if there is a school which will be willing to accept my Engineering Degree from Europe?

Thank you in advance for any help!

Marta

You will need a Bachelor degree from the US or at minimum taking all prereq classes here in the US, I guarantee that.

You need to take a certain amount of classes in the U.S. NYU for instance requires 60 credits from a U.S. school.

You have to take ~2 years worth of prerequisite classes in the U.S. anyway, so that shouldn't be too bad.

Some require TOEFL scores.
