Some schools in India have no full time faculty , and the schools run with staff mainly on a visiting basis , and the students are given high internal averages at random without conducting examinations... and ofcourse they will be getting great gpa when evaluated here in u.s.
On the contrary students who study in well reputated and strict schools ,going through all the examinations are not scoring as good as the above ones.
Does the evaluation services know about these facts...Definitely not.
They just evaluate the marks obtained from the Universities and I dont blame them too..
I am sure many guys have been putting all their efforts and hard work and now though they score good percentile in Board Exams , they are not guaranteed any admissions,just because of GPA .
I think the evaluations should be based on the reputation of the schools in a particular country ,the time of completion of the dental programs ,both of which are again very difficult to assess.
Finally,Let the schools think that a person with low G.P.A is not competitive in the program and the one with high G.P.A will be an excellent student considering the above facts.
I think that selecting a student on the basis of the exams conducted by the boards should be the only priority and all other ways of assessing should be determined secondary.
In summary, It will be great, if much weightage is given to the NBDE scores other than looking for the GPA .
This is just my view and I will be glad if any school administration looks into it and work with the reality ....
