I have a question about LLU application...any1 who hv already applied to LLU please guide...
1)On LLU website at International dentist program...how to apply shows following:

After your CAAPID application is received by LLUSD, a supplemental application invitation will be emailed to you.
Based on the review of a completed supplemental application, transcripts, board scores and recommendations, you may be invited to LLUSD for dexterity testing, with fee.

and next is application requirements which says:
To be considered, applications and all required documents must arrive at the School of Dentistry, Admissions Office, by the July 1 deadline. All material sent to Loma Linda University School of Dentistry becomes property of the Program

so this means we have to send application requirements....means all documents n then we ll get e-mail about suppliment application submission....is it so?


2) my second confusion is again about application requirement which says......Official transcripts with English translations MUST be mailed to us directly by the dental university attended

So does that mean official transcripts already in english can be send by us??

Please guide
 
Hey can anyone tell me when do they hold intrvews....which month?
 
hey 009dds first you have to submit the application through caapid and when they receive your application from Caapid they will send you an e-mail to submit your supplemental application, hope this will work for you
 
according to mentioned information on the website official transcript should be sent by college, you can try sending notarized copies to them from here or just give them a call about this matter....

I asked about transcript and they replied they don't accept anything from student even if it is sealed. They want all documents- Transcript and degree certi. directly from University ( NOT FROM THE COLLEGE), NBDE scores from ADA, TOEFL from ETS.
Hope that helps.

there is only one degree certificate which is awarded on convocation, do they need original one... i guess its the official transcripts only that is required, plz clear the confusion
 
thanks all for answering but our university doesnt give any transcript only college does..??????😕

No they don't need originals. They only want to get them attested by our university registrar and send directly by the Uni.

1st option : Send your college issued transcript to your university and get it attested by university registrar.

2nd option : If your university is not willing to get it attested then provide copies of your 4years marksheets to them and they will attest them and send it to loma linda directly.

Hope that clears everything.

In their long supplemental application Lomalinda is asking for Program Essay. Is it different from personal statement? I think it's like a questionnaire. Could you throw some light if I have understood wrong?

Online application lets us submit photo and fees both. Other documents are going directly so I don't think we have anything left to send🙂
 
.What should we have to mention in- ''List all licensures, certificates, and professional credentials that you have. List the state in which the license is held, the license number, and effective date if applicable''

.

Please I need urgent help. Is anybody from the Rajiv Gandhi University? How do I get the transcript directly from the RGUHS to Loma Linda University? please help.

LLU's site says that their deadline is July 1st. But does anyone know how how much of a grace period LLU will grant us for our official documents to get to them? My caapid application reached them on the 29th and I received their supplementary application on July 1 so I'm already behind schedule (up *&%* creek without a paddle!). Aha Aha...
 
I also e-submitted my application to CAAPID on 29th june for loma linda.BUT,my ece report has not reached caapid yet.So,does that mean my application won't be processed to Loma Linda???????I haven't got the supplemetal application till yet......sad...;((((
 
Harry747 do you have any idea about me???please reply.

I didnt get any appl complete status, but 2 weeks ago, when I checked the online appln status, it showed as all the docs received, except the photograph, which is not mandatory. As I am a reapplicant, the school told me that they will update my visa status and photograph from my last application.
 
yes its been like a week or so for that...
Thanks toothfairyqueen, I didn't receive any e-mail from them but in online application all item status is 'received'.
Any idea when will they send IV invitations?
