Hi caninus molarus,
all the best for your dexterity test.. by the way where did you get your transcripts notarised cos I saw Loma LInda Univ. asks for it... your reply will be appreciated..
 
hey pearlindia
i called loma linda and asked the same question you have about typing but they said that we could get it typed or send a hand written one but the hand written one should be very clearly printed, so i just sent a hand written one.you can call and ask to verify the same.

friends,
can anyone let me know what should be written in the column for the RELIGIOUS PREFERENCE in the Lomalinda application????
 
your religione, hindu, muslim, christian, jewish, bodist.
 
can we leave the space blank for the religious prefernce?
Pearlindia.
 
Hey Dentist80
Loma Linda does ask for part2

As much as I asked her, she told me that we cant tell u anything about the dexterity test. the only thing i can tell u is, u will be able to do it. dont worry.
she said, u dont have to prepare for it.

Hi! All,

In reply to all of your question, There are 4 excercise, somewhat like below.


1) carve a small tree design on a slide with carver, We have to put plastic slide on the given design paper , and trace it on slide and carve it ...mm thick.
2)Carve a molar from clay. They will give u a big first molar as guidence and big amount of clay so we have to carve, and make same molar like that.

3) On plaster slab we have to carve "U" and "T" .Means U on one side and T on another side.

4) Make a cube from sticks. and join it with wax.

Dont worry, they will give u demonstration before your excercise. And every time they changes excercise, so its just for your idea.
 
Hi,
i think everyone is busy with the interview processes. I am a member in this forum from last one year and it helped me a lot for getting in to DDS admission in one of the best schools in USA. Coming to Loma Linda, as ivshah told, that is how the dexterity session will be in loma linda. And it is quite different from the other schools and it is interesting too. i think every one knows how many will be selected from the total applicants. So if u have any questions, regarding the interview process in other schools too, u can leave a message and i will try to help you guys as much as i can as i know how hard this period will be. I attended arounf 6-7 schools and i think i can help you guys a little.

Have a nice day

Hi,
As far as the original documents, i think u can take them along with you as i dont remember whether they asked me or not. I would suggest you to take atleast for the second day i.e., for the interview day as they might ask u to show.

Coming to the dress code, u dont need to wear suit for the first day, and i would suggest to wear anything which makes u comfortable as u have to work hard on that day. No casuals. And coming to the lab coat, u dont need to take ur lab coat as they might give if u need.

All the best

thanks international,
u have been a great help
