International dentists-Interview
Started by nps
BU has a first come first based interviews, NYU calls for interviews bet march & april
Boston - It goes on till the end of march or so as they also plan to accommodate the dec batch , but from what I hear they accept a lot of canidates by dec itself . Moreover they have a rolling admission process so if u havent applied already do it ASAP !
Iam sure you do have a chance. I think it depends more on the dec pool of applicants. Dont loose heart.....Apply to all the other schools too....If you want to know abt any particular school or deadline feel free to ask me . Good luck !
please i want to know a bout the advance standing program on the united state ive been her for a year and i realy want to know what to do for getting the licence can you help me with that.
Hi,
If U are an International dentist,U need to do the NDB 1 and TOEFL to be elligible to start applying to schools here,I would suggest that U call and enquire about the requirements in your school of preference,as some may ask for NDB 2 and TSE as well.once u meet the eligiblity requirements ,u can call for & submit application forms & if u meet their requirements they may call u for a tech.exam/interview..if u get selected u can go on to do DDS/DMD..this should enable you for a license.U would want to see the individual school web sites for better and clear information,U may also want to call the ADA for better information.
Good Luck!!!

Joseph,
For the web site of all the schools in US , try <a href="http://www.aads.jhu.edu/links.html" target="_blank">http://www.aads.jhu.edu/links.html</a>
It also includes schools that dont offer advance standing program.
I suggest you go thru all of them . You'll get a good idea of their pre-requisites etc.

I've applied to almost all the schools that offer advance standing program except the ones that offer 3yr programs & ones that req GRE.
To know more about advance standing you really have to go to the web sites of schools that offer such program <a href="http://www.aads.jhu.edu/links.html," target="_blank">http://www.aads.jhu.edu/links.html,</a>
For a very brief outlook you can look into <a href="http://www.dentalsite.cjb.net/" target="_blank">http://www.dentalsite.cjb.net/</a>
You can also contact ADA & ask them to send you a booklet called " Information on education & lincensure". Also look into their web site <a href="http://www.ada.org" target="_blank">www.ada.org</a>
Hope this helps !

Perplexed,
Thanks a lot for your timely reply. I scanned through the individual websites and found several more 🙂 . Can you also give some comments on the difficulty of the mission? or what is the key part of that? I think there will be no much problem about my original GPA or NBDE1 score (though I have not taken it yet). However English is sort of haunting me :< ...

Lina,
You 've got to be more specific ! R u talking abt UPENN ? If so, you'll be interviewing with 3 different ppl. They also have a LONG orientation, very detailed & informative.

Wirelix,
Toefl is important, Try to get hold of Barons guide or just some book to prepare for it. Also get used to CNN 🙂 , It'll help you understand their accent better . Its really easy .. You just need to prepare yourself for it. Go thru the mock exams in the guide & listen to the audio.
Good luck !

Perplexed,

Wirelix ,
If u are studying here (US) then TOEFL should be a cake walk for you.
Yes , Iam planning to join school next year. Right now Iam just going thru the painful interview process 🙂
You have have enough time to prepare for NDB 1, It can be diffcult when combined with studies & lab work eh !Stay focused & good luck !

At UPENN, they just have a laid-back interview , they'll ask u abt your background, schooling , interests etc . Take all your orginals ( paper work) with you.
Hi Lina,
Yes , I've been to a couple of interviews, they were really cool , In my opinion, UPENN 's interviews are much more thorough than the others,,,,,, they really wanna get to "know" you, BU has almost a namesake interview ...they dont go into details ...they'll take u around the campus , Upenn doesn't have much to show u 🙂 unless you enjoy seening the pipes & the basement & the narrow corridors , Frankly I cant remember seening their SLC or anything like that ....Iam thinking really hard here..but I cant remember seeing it ( ah ! well, its been a while ). But their reputation covers for all that's missing .... Very nice,polite & helpful faculty.
Anyways, BU's SLC is really good , its all high tech. I found Boston( traffic) to be lil bit congested thou ! They are also extremely helpful & friendly.
USC again has a courtesy-sake interview ,... all they look into is your practical work/exam. They have excellent facilities/SLC, I personally think it was better than BU..... But I can't say much abt the Faculty there.It was more like " We dont really care abt you,you know " kinda attitude. 🙂 . Good building, nice place, research oriented etc etc
I'll be going to UOP shortly , lets see how that goes ...
Good luck with your interviews !

Lina, If this is your first interview you might want to go thru some books/ casettes abt interviewing & interveiw skills.
Well! for specific questions!!!!! you should basically be prepared for questions abt your school/college, (the kind of work you did, any awards you received), your future plans, your interests, (academic and otherwise ), abt your family, any particular experience that you had during BDS that you remember etc
The questions are easy to answer, no trick questions ! The more I talk to you abt this the more tense you are going to get .. so let me not go on .....
Just be yourself ,it'll be a friendly atmosphere .
