New Admission Policy?!!

[Goldentist]

Hi Friends:

Has any one heard that the admission policy for International Dentists in US dental Schools is going to change from 2010?
One Friend told me that the NDBE score will not be of importantce any more.You will be named a PASS or FAIL applicant.Your NDBE score will not be considered any more.
Instead, they will consider your GPA, Hand Skills and CV as important selection factors.

Any information regarding this isuue would be really appreciated.
