NYS license for foreign trained dentists

[Absit22]

Hi! I am about to graduate the two year advanced standing program. I have been trying to get accepted to a GPR and couldn't do so mostly due to program directors being unsure if I will have enough credits to qualify for the NYS license since I didn't attend college in the US. Has anyone had a similar experience and how did you handle it?

Call NY Board of Dentistry. They will ask you to submit some paperwork, and then they will evaluate your case. It is case by case, and it is different from one country to another.
