Hi all, I am a struggling foreign dental student who recently graduate in april 2004, I passed my part 1 in 2003; however, it had a terrible score of 79 average. My Toefl score was 240. I am really struggling and hoping to get in any advancing standing program here in the States. I recently got a rejection letter from Columbia Univ. To make the matter worse, i heard that one of the member had part 1 average of 88 and STILL did not get accepted. I am now really so confuse and depress right now, i really dont know what i should do? I am really hoping someone would be kind enough to answer my thread and truely helping me out here. In addition, What is the bench exam about? I post the question but no one answer me in that thread and in that thread the responds was out of control. 😕 Well, i wish someone could help me out here with my case, Thanks all 😳 😳

Hi Steve,

There is no reason to be depressed. We know how you feel and we are all in the same boat. You must redo your NDB part 1 exam and score a minimum of 85 to be seriously considered. Ideally aim for 90+ to almost guarantee interview calls. Try to bring your TOEFL score over 250 so Boston and USC become a reality. See if you can redo part 1 by December so you can at least apply to NYU. Otherwise, you will probably have to wait until next year to apply to most of the other universities. Best of luck.
