I have Part I/II 87/77, TOEFL 99, And ECE GPA 2.83, WES 3.45.
I Applied to most all schools that have international program (I did not apply to Columbia, Pitt, Fl).
I was Interviewed at UIC, UDM, LLU, USC, (called for interview at UMDNJ, but declined their interview).
I got Accepted to UIC and UDM.
I am at UIC now & loving it 🙂.
So, in my opinion you need to have a overall application that is attractive, not just stats (for sure you do need good/excellent scores). Excellent SOP, Good Recommendation letters, Apply early, Know your weaknesses and strengths, Do dental assistant and/or volunteer work. And most of all pray and wish for luck.
