OK HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO . FIRST GO TO THE ADA SITE AND TEACH YOURSELF HOW TO GET WHAT DR SAID TO DO.
SECOND GO TO THE ECE SITE AND GET YOUR SCHOOL INFO TO THEM SO YOU CAN COMPLETE THE FIRST .
THIRD GO TO THE EST SITE AND SIGN UP FOR TOEFL
http://ada.org/prof/ed/testing/natboard/part1.asp
http://www.ece.org/main/content=EvaluationServices&SubSite=1&LeftNav=2#CBC
http://www.ets.org/bin/getprogram.cgi?test=toefl
ALSO GET THREE LETTERS OF REFERENCE
1 FROM THE DEAN OF YOUR PROGRAM AND 2 FROM OTHER PRACTICING DENTIST THAT YOU EITHER KNOW OR WORK WITH.
WRITE A PERSONAL STATEMNET CLEARLY DEFINING WHO YOU ARE WHAT YOUR EXPERIENCES ARE IN DENTISTRY AND WHAT YOUR INTENTIONS ARE.
DO THIS AND THEN TAKE PART ONE GET A 90 OR BETTER PASS YOUR TOEFL AND APPLY TO EVERYWHERE YOU CAN THAT INCLUDES
1) advanced standing
2) maters/postgraduate specialty programs
3)aegd program
all ths info can be found here on sdn and past post use the search engine , and go to ada and readevrything you need to get educate yourself on how to become what you want here in america , Good luck and God bless
if you need anything else let me know-Bill
