nyu interview

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hello All

This was MY experience 3 years ago. I believe it will help all of you. Since, NYU is pretty much the last hope for many people (b/c they start their interviews after, most of dental schools' have accepted FTDs)

I was in the same boat as many of you. At the time of applying I had Part I 87, GPA 2.83 and Toefl 230. Surprisingly I was called for an interview. So, the first comment they made was Your Gpa is too low, we usually accept students with 3.0 or higher, they also said your TOEFL score is borderline. then they asked what do you think you can do? I should have said why did you call me for an interview to tell me my scores suck :). But, anyways I said I cant change the GPA (one stat that you cant change :(). I could take the Part II and TOEFL again, and also if NYU accept me I can gurantee that my GPA 1st year would be well above 3.0.
1 week later I received a nice rejection letter.

Now this my opinion that if you have a gpa above 3 and are called for in interview early, you have a good chance, if you get called with gpa less then 3, be prepared for some scolding.

So to finish my story, I Applied to 16 schools the following year with improved application: Part I 87, Part II 77, TOEFL ibt 99, FL dental hyegienist License, 2.5 years of dental assistant and observeship.

I was interviewed at 5 schools (UIC, NJ, USC, Loma Linda, and UDM), accepted and 2. *No interview from NYU, funny thing is it not?*

The most amazing thing is, Currently I am almost done with 1 year at UIC, and love it here, one of the best schools and excellent clinical experience,

The most amazing thing is, Currently I am almost done with 1 year at UIC, and love it here, one of the best schools and excellent clinical experience, and we (FTDs) are well respected and liked by the professors and other dental students (non FTDS). I would not have liked the NYU commute. So, I have came to believe that what ever happens it happens for a reason :), you may not like it at that time, but it has to be for the better.

By the way, I have been blessed with an excellent GPA at UIC :) so far, keep my fingers crossed

Good Luck to all

Anyone got an interview call ?

It seems that either NYU is not calling and conductiong interviews or friends on SDN are busy or... just avoiding to write.

Share friends!
thats the only link where we all know from each other ...what is happening.?...Otherwise, we can't get this info as school policies are very confidential.

Best wishes to everyone !

Hi Dentalbug,

thanks and god bless with future endeveours.

When I applied for FL DH, an international trained dentist required the follwoing:

1. Part I and II OR FL DH national boards
2. FL DH law exam
3. ECE eval (i believe now it is helath profession eval - check with fl board)
4. Practical exam held at Nova or Univ of Fl

Please call Florida Department of Health for up to date information, they are very helpful - I believe FL clinical exam is taken twice a year.

good luck

Any body from jan 13 nterview group, or any other member of SDN, do u have an idea on the basis of previous years that when does NYU give the results after the interview?

This is not uncommon but the most common is the banana dance..... hope you understand

You will see lot of strangers will show the banada dance upon acceptance.

Having said that people who has been accepted are contributing lot to extend their support but they do not have information about what is going on now.

Not sure of it, but when calling NYU they say application under review. Didn't hear abt new batch of interviews..

hope for best,live rest on Almighty!!
good luck!!
 
hey, i also called nyu today and they said that my application is under review...not sure what that means exactly:confused:
 
I had my interview today. As posted by other members, interview was easy and "relaxing". Just couple questions about my plans, future and past (what i wrote in my personal statement). Nothing was really hard or difficult.

One thing we were told is that they are planning to interview about 150-160 people (to keep waiting list short) and admit 125. Admission office won't be sending acceptance letters till deadline (February 1st), and applicants can expect to see acceptance letters starting the middle of February.

Good luck everyone awaiting interview calls.
 
I too had emailed them about the status of my application and got a reply saying my application was under review. Hopefully they start calling people for the next round of interviews soon.
 
thanks so much kalvydas.. i 've already interviewed and was wondering when to expect any sort of calls.. appreciate your update.. good luck to all of us!!

Thanks for sharing Kdas !

Considering all the other factors, I think NYU would not be able to pick 125 candidates from 160... the number will be much more than that may be arround 200.

But, if they could able to that then that woould be a...HISTORY:D ( about 75 % guaranteed admission ....... 125/160:cool:)

I did not take the FL DH national boards, I had taken Part I and II, which was good enough to qualify for FL DH license exam. So, I don't know about study materials for FL DH NB.

Good luck
