Hi Missdentistry,

Guyton is worth carrying. Rest are of no use. Instead if you can get the following books that will be great.

1. Anatomy - Snell's
2. Biochemistry- Lippincott's
3. Pathology- Kumar, Robbins
4. DA- Wheeler's
5. Micro is very completein Kaplan.

This is my opinion.

For Nbde Part2 you can bring your clinical books . They are really helpful.

Good luck & welcome to US and Yes you need your Deans Letter of Recommendation for applying to universities.

I used Chaurasia for Anat and it helped me a lot. I also used Kaplan for Histology and Embryology.
Kaplan review notes are really good for all the other subjects.

have you finished with your part1 yet ?

 

[missdentistry]

no i am just gonna start studying for it

 

[akg]

no i am just gonna start studying for it

so first take the test, get toefl scores , get GPA general/ course by course evaluation reports and then follow the forums on a daily basis...
then you will be set getting into the race .

so till then don't worry about dean's / college letters or whatever it is ...

good luck

You wont need a Dean's letter for eligibility toward NBDE. Its required only if you are still in school. All the rest of your questions have been perfectly answered by others.

I totally agree with AKG, Also here is what I found that may help you - just my opinion.

Missdentistry makes sure you get dentaldecks 07, exams papers, kaplan, etc

1. Try to do as much as possible with trying to get some work experience in you home country. - get a recommedation from your employer
2. Also makes sure your recommendation letters are written in english and are very good. - by professors and the dean.
3. Get Originals of your transcripts in a sealed envelopes by your university.
4. Get Course by Course evaluation of ECE and WES, Usually ECE GPA is lower then WES. Most school want ECE evaluation, but some will take WES (find out ahead of time which school takes WES). When you order the ECE or WES evaulation makes sure you request extra copies in a sealed envelope for your self and send them out to universities that you are intrested in - so expense will be low. (i.e. GPA of 3.0+ is good)
5. TAKE the Part I with good prepration - AIM for score of 90+
6. GET above at least 100 on TOEFL ibt
7. Get a job as an assistant or shadow a US dentist as soon as you come to US. THEN you can join the race and MUST do the No. 8 to 11 below

8. Hope for Good Luck and be presistant - b/c it is a very very long long process
9. Do a plethora of Praying
10. Pray Some More...
.
.
11. Pray a little more...

Good Luck and Best Wishes

I got a dental assistant job at a clinic in my town, by reference. I am not in FL, i am in MI. I know in MI and most states you do not need certificate for dental assistant, but it is easily obtainable with an exam. Try to apply to different dental office or you can try to observe/volunteer.

Good Luck
