hi,
i will try to answer ur questions to the best of my knowledge. someone correct me if u feel i m wrong....
1. GPA- u need to send ur dental school score sheets, and probably ur high school mark sheets to ECE. i think u can get more info abt them from www.ece.org. they convert ur indian dental school grades to a value out of 4. thats ur gpa.
2.i am not sure abt this one. i dunno if u can transfer after 2nd year of dental school.
3. i feel 4 months is a good time period to study ( also depends on ur comfort level)
4. to take the nbde, i think ur gpa is very important, and u need to send a copy of the ece evaluation to the ada, i think its the course by course evaluation...
5. i don understand " up graduation"

hope the info helps... good luck..

The short answer is no.
Some schools may be exceptions to the rule, and the only way of figuring out what their specific protocol is, is by contacting them directly as this kind of information may change year to year.
In addition, you will be required to do the equivalent of 2 or even 3 more years of pre-dental studies prior to even being considered for dental school admissions in the US.
If possible, I would wait to get my degree from wherever you are, and then maybe think of licensure in the US (which will also take you 3-4 years). It is not an easy process.

I know I may sound way too pessimistic, but believe it or not, that's the truth.

Good Luck.
