My friends who got accepted last year had 84-86 and gpa's of 3.4-3.6. It depends on which univ./program you are applying to, and of course, if you are thinking about taking part 2 as well...Part 2 looks pretty impressive on some applications, when you are not asked specificially to take it. Oh, yeah, Univ judge TOEFL and PS as well. So it's the overall impression.. 86 is pretty good score! 🙂 Congrats!

PS is personal statement... you guessed it correctly. Are you planning to take part 2 by the way? Do you know if you can take part 2 after January 2010 if you are not enrolled in a dental program???
 
im definitely taking part2!

i actually gave my part1 last year in july as a "practice" test but got a good enuff score to consider keeping it as my final score(esp due to the new rule!!)...i've just started internship in India a month and a half ago, so have plenty of time before i can apply to colleges
have pretty much nothing to do right now so might as well study for part2 n get that done also...i'll be applying for batch of 2011

as for your other question, im pretty sure u can take part2 after jan2010...dnt think it has nething to do with being enrolled(not sure tho)...i take it ur applying for batch of 2010?

well, i am not sure if I can enroll in 2010 batch, since it is almost the end of the year... and most of the programs want part 2 as well.. but I will surely try to.. and see what happens.... risky, huh? how much did you say you scored on TOEFL?
