Hi dolly123,
Well i think other than those schools who have mentioned a specific cut off score for part 2 in their application like tufts i.e 85 ,you should be okay.Infact a lot of the west coast schools give more importance to the dexterity exams so you have a chance in those and a some schools only want a part one score so you have a few options.I know a friend who has an 80 in part 2 and is at present working as a dentist according to what she said it does not really matter a lot what your part 2 score is.But you should confirm this from a official source!!If you have a list of schools you want to apply to ,see their requirements for part 2 and see which ones fit your scores!!Call them up to be sure .Best of luck 👍 👍

Hi Sharry,
the study materials i used were decks and papers.I have kaplan but did'nt use it much.mostly papers and decks should be sufficient,and if u have some extra material for patient management/behavioral sciences u can refer to those.[that is where i screwed up].
thanx.

Hey,
Yes I'm done with the interview at UPENN.it was a day event,they start with a light breakfast,then Dr.Lopez hands over each one their schedules-mainly who all will be interviewing,then they show a video cassette which is mainly abt the school and how the whole PASS program works,and then we r headed to our respective interviewrs,followed by lunch,tour of school and lastly some info on financial aspects.[boy!that was a long sentence....]

the interviews went ok,they generally wanna know u so questions r general,although i think one of the candidates was asked something abt rubber base impression materials,i'm not sure what the q'n was.but that was abt it.just don't worry,it'll be ok with u too.by the when is u'r interview?
thanx.
