Roseman MBS program

[StrawHatDMD]

Hi all,

I'm considering doing the Roseman Master's in Biomedical Sciences program to strengthen my dental app and potentially land a seat in Roseman's dental school. I was curious to know if anyone here tried it can provide feedback. Thanks!

Did you end up doing this program? If so, what's your insight about it?

 

[kashyranz]

I got into rose man by doing a masters. I did it at rowan university in New Jersey. I sent in my masters grades and they accepted me 2 days later so they HEAVILY value masters at rose man. overall I declined the acceptance and reapplied

Did you take the masters program at Roseman? I just applied to their MBS and wanted to get your input on the program.

Yes. The program is good but also relatively young. While I do think this program is far better than others around the country, it will probably get increasingly competitive to get into with time as the three-year DMD program gets more attention and with the medical school being constructed in Vegas. With that said, the dental school does value students from the masters program and did admit a good chunk of us into its school within this cycle already. If you have any specific questions about the program, DM me.

Did you get into the program Bentonsheets ? I just applied and wanted to know how the process went?

@whatsupdoc?05 I have my interview this Monday. DM me and I’ll explain more about the process.

 

[whatsupdoc?05]

I also completed the master’s program at Roseman and I do have to say - do not rely on the program thinking you will get in. Also, speaking to the dental admissions, they say they value those with a master’s but they will still reject you if you do not do well on the interview.

As far as the MBS program, they are not the best with mentorship.

Were you on campus or online?

 

[whatsupdoc?05]

Campus

Can I ask what your stats were when you applied? Feel free to DM me if you don’t want to post.

I am sorry to hear that you did not have a good experience with the MBS program. I also completed the MBS program at Roseman and had a completely different experience than this individual.

I had fantastic mentorship throughout the program (and I also attended in person). Both dental students and faculty were extremely supportive of me! Every faculty member that I talked to was supportive and excited about the MBS program.

During the MBS program, we pick a faculty member as a mentor (typically a faculty member at the dental school). I chose one of the dental faculty members which was highly beneficial. She really cared/cares about me and wanted the best for me throughout the MBS program and currently in dental school.

The MBS program at Roseman promises certain things but it’s not always kept and the relationship between the MBS program and the dental school is not as close as you think. Communication with them is terrible. All they care about is $$$.

What did the MBS program promise you that they didn't deliver on? Did you meet the requirements for the guaranteed interview?
I also disagree with the "all they care about is $$$.” I don't believe that is true. Otherwise, they could be charging substantially more for the MBS program. Other programs like Tufts cost $56k compared to Roseman's $27.5k (their dental school also costs more than Roseman's). Also, if you do well in the program, you really should get accepted into the 3-year dental program (everyone in my MBS class that applied was accepted into Roseman's dental school). I have heard that most people have been accepted into Roseman's dental school in the current MBS class that applied and met the pre-reqs.

Also, while you are in the MBS program, a large amount of the courses are taught by pharmacy, future medical, and dental faculty members. So you do have plenty of time to bond with dental faculty that are on the admissions committee. You can go to the 5th floor where the dental faculty are whenever you like. The faculty would always welcome me into their offices when I was on the 5th floor, excited to talk to me. I never felt unwelcome. You can join research projects with dental faculty and form stronger bonds with them. Additionally, some students in my class joined extracurricular dental clubs lead by dental faculty.

It is like anything in life. You get out of the program what you put into it.

The only reason's why I wouldn't see someone getting accepted would be:
1) You didn't preform well in the program (kept reassessing or remediating courses)
2) You didn't meet the requirements (gpa and/or DAT)
3) Professionalism while attending the MBS program

I also agree with what @StrawHatDMD said. The program is in the early stages and will get more and more competitive especially with the 3-year program.

To all predental students considering attending Roseman, I feel it is my responsibility to share a significant concern about the school’s treatment of students and its impact on student success. While the school may offer an appealing program on the surface, there are serious issues you should be aware of before making your decision.

One of the biggest challenges at the school is the deliberate gatekeeping of essential practice materials, such as plastic teeth, that are crucial for developing clinical skills. Access to these materials is tightly controlled by the specifically designated toxic dispensary staff, who frequently refuse reasonable student requests with intentional viciousness and contempt. This creates unnecessary barriers to practice and hinders skill development.

Adding to the problem is the behavior of the dispensary staff, particularly one individual who is consistently rude, unprofessional, and outright abusive toward students. Many students have reported being treated with unbelievable disrespect and humiliated when attempting to obtain the supplies they need. This toxic environment significantly impacts morale and makes an already challenging skill to learn even more difficult.

The dispensary operates on a highly restrictive schedule, often closing early or being unavailable during times when students most need access. Everything is locked away from students. This lack of flexibility further exacerbates the difficulties students face in obtaining essential materials.

Many people have complained yet the admin refuses to do anything about this. They rapidly expand their class size without limitations yet deliberately withhold these crucial materials from students. As a dental student, your education and success depend on your ability to practice effectively. Gatekeeping critical resources and fostering a hostile environment are not just inconveniences. They are obstacles that directly impact your learning experience and preparedness for clinical practice.

While every school has its strengths and weaknesses, these issues at this school are significant enough to warrant serious consideration. After talking to students from many other schools, they provide easier access to practice materials (plastic teeth, burs, flowable, composite, bond and etch, blended/spherical amalgam, wedges, Soflex discs, mylar strips, tofflemire bands, the list goes on) and foster supportive environments for their students, without locking them away or hiding them from students on purpose with a dispensary staff that handles every reasonable request with utmost malice. It is worth researching your options and ensuring the school you choose aligns with your needs and values to become a competent dental professional. Make an informed decision, and choose a school that prioritizes your success over profits and bureaucracy.

how do you know about all of this? do you currently attend the school- just curious

Current student here. While I can’t speak on this student's opinions on personalities of the staff, I will say the ‘gate keeping’ isn’t true. This is purely speculation, but this person sounds like a D1 (based on their experience)- they haven't finished their restorative classes yet. After finishing your restorative classes you can ask the dispensary staff for teeth and materials and they will not hesitate to give it to you. Faculty restricts D1s from taking extra teeth and materials during these classes because the point of these classes aren’t to develop techniques- it’s to learn the literature that is tested on the INBDE and following directions in sim like for CDCA. Once you pass these classes you can take as many teeth as you want, whenever you want. Also, if faculty thought this student was struggling in these classes they would for sure be given extra teeth. I hope this helps!

Beware of the "spicymango" account. They just joined this forum yesterday and this is their only comment. They're likely Roseman admin trying to cover up for themselves lol. Their comment is complete bs.

Edie: Wow what a coincidence, you forgot your password right on the day after I posted the comment.

 

[spicymango]

LOL.. I forgot the password to my other account so I made a new one because I am loving my experience at Roseman and want prospective students to know not everyone agrees with your experience. You are more than welcome to come to the dispensary with me after you pass your restorative exam and I can show you how to ask. Good luck!!

Yeah I am going to completely agree with @spicymango.

When you are outside of the restoration courses you are able to ask the dispensary for extra teeth whenever you want to practice restorations or crown preps. @Tay2 does not know what they are talking about. Toxic, abusive, malice, and hostile environment... I don't think a single roseman dental student has ever felt that way about the restorative courses/sim here. More like pleasant, relaxed, and enjoyable.

@Tay2 are you currently a dental student at Roseman?
