LLU Dexterity Test and Interview

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
At loma linda they ask you to do some pretty routine stuff which test your basic dexterity.
1) carving a plaster block to the given dimensions.Be accurate and neat.Time is also limited for each of the excercises.
2)wire bending
3)making a cube with sticks provided and sticky wax.
4)making a molar out of clay.
They provide you with whatever materials you need and they even demonstrate what they want you to do.
Every year they change this alittle so that there is an element of surprise.
Good Luck guys.
 
i am getting suspicious about the dexterity test, they are inviting everybody that applied, do we have to pay in order to take the dexterity test?
 
hi everyone.......

I am called for interview too at LLU.... I have a question...

Is anyone here kept on waiting list from last year at LLU......
What are the scopes for them this year....?

I was told that people those who all are waitlisted have good chances too..... I dont know exactly but if you are waitlisted too..... please post so that we can have an idea, how many of us are waitlisted.

pLZ POST
 
Hey I was waitlisted last year and I was the second name on the waitlist(i think) but still, it didn't make any difference since nobody withdrew from the program..anyway i'm not sure what you mean by your question. this is a new term and i don't think that last year's results will make any difference here.
 
thank you damas for your response....

I called llu and they said that waitlisted persons may(?) be given preferences this time.

Have you reaaplied to llu and are called for interview or dexterity?

I am not.........
 
hey again, yes i'm called for the dexterity and interview and i'm gonna be there this weekend but i realy don't know anything about giving preferences for waitlisted students so .............GOD HELP US ALL

Hi Divya

pls. let me know.

That's right, damas. Our time has finally come. Wishing everybody who's been invited all the very best of luck for this Sunday. May God be with us all. I don't know about other people, but I really, really need God's intervention this time (and always🙂 ). Got to pray extra, extra hard tonight and the next few days. 😀 😀 Like you, I'm getting quite nervous, but I believe that whatever is meant to happen will happen.

Hey,

If you meant loupes or magnifying glasses, then don't worry too much about them. I have them and I will bring them, but I'm not sure if I'll be using them as I haven't got used to wearing them yet as I hardly used them while in dental school. They're definitely optional. However, if you meant gogles to protect your eyes, then I'm not sure about those. However, since you were told that they're optional then it's okay. Don't get too worried. Good luck:luck:
 
Hey Cheer_up..
Thanx..Gr8 relief..n yeah, by the word glasses i meant loups..see u there then..Good luck to u too n all the other friends.. 🙂 🙂
