Orthodontics for eu students in usa or uk?

[aryadent]

Hello,
I am a dentist(graduated from EU) with 2 years of clinical experience and I am about to apply for postgraduate courses in orthodontics. I did some research in the forum and I read in many posts that it is quite difficult to get accepted as a postgraduate student in the usa. Does anyone know if this is the case too for unis like ucla, tufts,nyu etch (with high fees and no stipends)?I was wondering if my chances of being accepted there are better comparing to salaried residencies. I have also applied in king’s college, ucl and queen mary in the Uk. Do you know if it is also competitive to get into?
Thank you.

Hi Arya!
I know that UCLA accepts 2 non-CODA students for their ortho program

Thank you for your reply I was just wondering if you know how competitive these programs are.

Truth is, every program for residency is competitive in the US - especially OMS and Ortho are popular. You have to be a unique applicant. However, I think UCLA could be a great opportunity as they seem to accept 2 CODA-grad and 2 non-CODA grads, so I guess that means you are only competing with the foreign graduates for those 2 spots.
