Hey Reni

First of all, you're absolutely not dumb at all. This is shown by your excellent GPA. How well you do on the NDBE I is not a measure of intelligence. It's just that some people are better test takers than others and luck has a lot to do with it as well. If you're lucky on the day of the exam, you get easier questions. So get that out of your head!!

I think you should definitely apply to the Universities of Colorado and Minnesota. As far as I know, these two schools do not solely look at your part I score. Things like your experience and attitude really count as well. So I think you have a relatively good chance with these schools.

Cheer up and best of luck 🙂

I absolutely agree with cheer_up.
Never give up. And be confident. If every one wld get in 90's, life wld have been much easier. But thats not possible.
Keep trying. And ur confidence in urself is the key to all difficulties. I think u r very determined kind of person that u gave it 3 times. Apply to universites of nyu, bu, minnesota, colorado. Their deadlines are not yet over.
And remember NBDE is not the only criteria to judge how intelligent a person is. Dentistry is practical feild and m sure u must be good at it since u have exp. So dont think of giving up.
Try try and tryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

hi reni...
i know its tough...but pls dont b depressed...by feeling depressed all u do make things worse for urself...by being such way nothing is gonna change...dont feel that ur not fit to do or u cannot b dentist or something like that...u r already a dentist in a different country....i can totally understand u r position..coz iam almost in the same boat....u know life is not gonna b like this all the time..its gonna change...but to hav a change u have to take it in your hands and control it and not let it control u...everyone has undergone this rough phase in their life at one point or the other so just dont b scared and give up...all those people who r successful will understand what iam saying....i know facing a failure is tough..it takes all ur confidence off and drains u to the most....i know it coz i have been through the same....but U r the only one who can make it go away..nobody else...sometimes u might think y is this happeneing to me alone when all the others r successful; ...but if u think abt it...the people who r sucessful now might have undergone this tremendous pressure and they have learnt to overcome it ...and thats y they r successful....so dont give up..never quit....i will agree with u when u say that u r dumb only when u say ...OK IAM GONNA GIVE UP AND I CANT TO IT ANYMORE...but if u r gonna stand up and face it according to me u r a winner...its not only for reni..but for people who r struggling like me out there...u r all winners...coz u all chose to struggle and make it happen according to ur dream...rather than giving up and let things happen as it is gonna be...

so reni...take ur time - out...relax and then think what r thee mistakes u did this three times...all u have to do is change ur study pattern a little bit and ull b totally fine..iam not advicing u or anyhting ..it is the same thing iam going through and iam just sharing a experience in my life...

Hey Reni,
Just take this out of ur mind, that ur dumb and......things like this r going to just make u more and more depressed .U R a dentist and u have reached this stage which means that u can do it and u definitly have the potential too, just take it out of ur mind that u have taken 3 attempts, start fresh whith a fresh attitude .Sometimes its luck and sometimes, its just putting ur effort in the right place at the right time in the right way, just sit down with a cool head make a study partner analyse where ur going wrong.Tell urself again and again that, "I can do it " and "I will do it ".think positive !!! Hope u feel better by this .

Hi
I also got a 83 in NBDE part I. My GPA is 3.23 (ECE), toefl 280. I have 5 months work experience as a dentist in india and 16 months work experience as a dental assistant/observer in US.
Can someone advise me which schools i can apply to and what are my realistic chances for admission in 2006. I was thinking of applying to UPenn, BU, NYU, Minnesota and Colorado.
Has UPenn or BU admitted anyone with a score of around 83. UPenn does not mention a minimum NBDE part I score requirement on its website.
This is urgent as UPenn's deadline is on 16th Jan.
Thanx in advance

to put it this way ,83 is not a low score ok,

I am sure everyone can read and study , there is nothing called impossible
or possible ,just be confident say to urself i am going to fight out of this.

STRESS is something that we all create within ourselves its the devil in us that brings the stress or depression , calm down for now , take few days rest ,

depression is self created
do what u feel can bring little happiness to you first of all

and then start reading some theory and get into the groove

check khalil gibran or some good books to bring some substance into life

to Reni,

Hi,at least I see your passion there. if only the score let you down, as others here said you can either retry the test, or try the schools that counts your whole pakage.
My deppression is I doubt my ability to be a dentist, because I lost interest in communicating with people. Communication is always my problem, even in my mother language. I could disscuss dental treatment with patients and friends, and dental only. so dumn 🙁

hi reni, dont worry about getting into a dental school. i am sure u will. its just a matter of applying to the right colleges. for 2006, most of the deadlines have past except nyu and bu. bu would be a li'l tough to get into. but nyu will definitely call u for i'view coz of ur excellent credentials.
also if u are planning to extend ur schoolong upto 2007, most of california colleges will call u for interview coz they look for the whole package. i know someone in ucla who had 84 in nb 1 and no experience and she got in. so doapply for cali colleges. i am in california, if i can be of help do let me know

Hi Reni,
A student knowlage can never be messure by a score. There are a lot of factors that puting them togheter can give you an idea of what your knowladge is.
So, for that reason take out of your mind that you are a dumb, cos you are not!
Another thing is that 80's means B. B means that you are a good student, the problem is that there is a lot of competition and for getting into a program they require 90's, which is something I don't agree, but we don't have another choice than accept it.
I understand how you feel. Getting depressed does't help at all. On the contrary, it makes things worse. I
In this situation try to forget about it and get some vacations or try to relax yourself. And when you feel that you are ready, come back...........but don't give up. Once you come back to continue, think this...."You are not alone on this process, there are a lot of people trying to do the same thing than you, and the pressure would be less once you feel that"
All of us are here to try to help each other, giving information, sharing knowlage, and trying to make this path less difficult.
I hope this could help in somewthing! and all the best for you and your purposes
