International dental graduate admission

[tinaaasays]

I am a US citizen studying dentistry in the philippines and am graduating in october 2014. My plan is to practice in CALIFORNIA. I am aware that i must complete another 2 years of school before i am eligible to take the licensure exam. I am also aware that colleges accept only a handful of international graduates (less than 30) each year to enter the 2 year program.

Now, being completely straight forward, my grades during college were average. I am even delayed a year because of failed classes.

This brings me to my questions:

1. How competitive is it to actually get into a program?
2. Are there waiting lists for these programs?
3. Are admissions based more on nbde scores or your past grades?

I would appreciate any information at all, or even anyone with a similar predicament, just to shed light on the situation.

THANK YOU!
