HONESTLY ,no one can tell you donn't apply because your GPA is a little low each candidate here has his or her diff story and each schoo has its area of interest and they think about candidate as pakage every thing has a weight but there are some schools are really picky about GPA I think UOP and NYU NOT SURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK

Hi Sam74,
dont worry about GPA.Try to make up for it with good scores in NBDE,try to get work experience and some real good recommendation letters from US.

hey sam
you cant change your gpa
so try to work on your other scores
like the toefl and part 1 and 2
do some volunteering and apply
well nyu will not give you chance at all
but try bu, the florida schools and the california
well try all the schools that havent mentioned any gpa requirement
good luck

Try having your credentials evaluated by another service, and not ECE. Some schools still accept GPA evaluated by WES and AACRAO (Loma Linda and Colorado, for sure) and they usually give you a higher GPA.

Do your homework and look for those schools, as some will tell you they only accept GPA from ECE and give you the minimum GPA you have to have to apply to their program, which, I remember seeing in some websites, is 2.0.


Good luck!!!

Hi Friends .......
Have a query ... I have an ECE GPA of 3.3 for BDS & 2.0 for MDS.
Will that make an adverse effect on my application ?????

I have been waiting for interview calls from NYU & BU for last 2 months but nothing yet. Started wondering if low GPA in MDS could be the reason for it.

NBDE 1 score is 87 & TOEFL is 111.
5 year teaching experience.
Wrote dissertation during MDS.
2 Publications in National journal & 4 paper presentations at conferences.

Any suggestions ????????
Thanks in advance

THERE are 1 or two seats in COLUMBIA don't wast your money and the other more painful thing is waiting to an answer I know what you are talking about and you can email them and ask good luck

Dear Ashu75

Columbia university Adv DDS is for 3 yrs. Kindly confirm with the admissions office. space based (3-4 seets every yr).

They also look for high scores. (a fresher with 95 got accepted last yr).
MDS will definitely help you in gettin accepted to some dental school.
Which dept did u do ur MDS?

I have atleast 2-3 frnds with MDS with better scores and gpa's than you and havnt got an interview at BU/nyu or havnt heard aftr an interview.
Being an MDS myself, I was waitlisted at many schools (3) this yr. Same with some of my frnds with MDS.

Im nt discouragin u. bUT Be aware of the facts and shape urself accordingly. stay positive and be patient.

All the best.
