I’m unable to upload my INBDE scores as a re-applicant. I emailed customer support. Waiting on a reply. Can someone help me with this?

 

[RollingDDS]

Anybody know the details about the VA program through Indiana? I believe they are taking a resident this year. From what I've found out you just apply to Indiana University. Has anyone heard anything different about it?

 

[endo4426]

Is anyone else having trouble submitting their adea pass application? I have submitted all my info, completed all the tasks for each program yet when I go to the submit application tab, the submit button is not a live link. I have reached out to adea pass support and waiting to hear back. Please help if you had the same issue and how you resolved it.

Good luck everyone.

I would like to know what are some cheap programs to study in as an International candidate compared to others?

UAB, WVU I know are the cheapest so far.
Do you guys have any idea about VCU, LSU, and Indiana?

Wondering how many programs everyone is applying to? I cast a wide net...wondering just HOW wide it is, lol.

First time applicant here..thinking of applying broadly. I know its expensive, but even 1 interview can lead to an acceptance. Did not take ADAT so that limits some schools. :/

 

[MaritimeMolar]

First time applicant too, best of luck everyone!

what does your profile look like if you don't mind asking? This is a lot of interviews! Congrats on your admission.

does anyone know if Texas A&M only pick from Texas residents? their supplemental application makes it sound like it and I dont want to waste my money if so lol

I applied to 9 programs.

I know their dental school prefers texas residents but I don't think that is the case for endo. Their resident class is pretty diverse regionally.

They do not. Very few programs function that way. It’s not like dental school.

Is anyone curating their PS specifically towards a program? Asking because some programs want us to upload the PS again in the supplemental app.

Eh, can’t really generalize certain schools as “Homer” schools since they will switch it up year after year, but I’ve seen Florida admit a good number of Florida residents, same with Iowa and Tennessee. But everyone switches it up. If you are competitive you have a chance at any program as long as you stand out to the chair.

• Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine I heard takes mostly alumni, but I could be wrong. Not a lot of information.

Newer program but half the class 2 years ago were out of state.

Programs don't really have a preference. Some schools may look like they have in state preference but it's also just the nature of the process. Dental students and residents have way more opportunity to network and in that department than someone who doesn't go there. So the PD and faculty know those people more than someone they interview for a day

Hi guys, quick question for ya,
Should I wait for all my recommendations to show "Completed" status before submitting, or would you recommend submitting regardless?

I waited, but I know some people submit before they got them

I graduated a while ago. I applied last year. ADEA still has my official dental school transcript. Do I need to request a new one, or will programs be like "Oh this person graduated in 20__ and so obviously a transcript from 2024 will show no difference"?

Also, are they still requesting NBDE scores or not anymore? TIA!
