PreDents.com: NDBE scores needed!

Hello SDN'ers.

I know this may not be possible (becasue I have been looking for some time) but if anyone has the school avg for the NDBE scores for all 55 dental schools, I'd LOVE to have that little nugget of info for my website. Having just a few schools is no good, I need all or none.

If you have it or know where I can get it, you can send it directly to me (either the data itself or a link to it, if it exists) at [email protected]

I'm thinking that that info is not public knowledge so this may not happen but I know my PreDents.com users would like it.

Thanks!

You're going to have a very hard time learning that information. Schools guard it pretty tightly, and I'd be pretty suspicious of anyone claiming they know multiple schools' averages.

I agree. It seems that a school wll give out that info for themselves if it's pretty high.

What organization keeps that data? The ADA?

I might try to contact them but am not holding out too much hope.

I'm surprised no one zinged me on that its NBDE, and not NDBE.

I have seen schools claim all types of rankings on the boards, but who holds them accountable if it is not verifiable? Tufts is the only school I know that publishes all board averages for all prior years (even when it dropped due to curriculum change)

As Bill said, it'll be impossible to get honest averages, much less any types of numbers, for 85% of schools.
