don't worry, last year they asked gold crow preparation for lower molar and an upper central incisor, you have use your instruments during practice session (which are not mandatory) usually they give 5 evenings to practice... during exam they will provide you with instruments... kilgore teeth are use...interview is usually friendly... one faculty and one staff member will interview you... although this year there can be some changes as this year they announced interview quite late and usually the bench test followed by interview at UCSF are after UOP but this year they are before. The bench test material will reach to you via regular mail very soon.

Congrats Buddy! Would mind sharing your status so we can understand how to prepare for the next cycle? Tans
 
Got accepted .. All the best guys
 
I got "alternate status". The email does not say whether it's medium or high priority. Is anyone getting a "high priority alternate status" email this year? I heard last year there were medium and high priority.
 
Hey...i am too on alternate list....but didn't got anything regarding the priority list....please anyone let me know....are there still any chances!!!!
 
Hi guys..

Anyone from you guys will get lucky soon..🙂

hello everyone! this is regarding the 2015 starting class!

i had a doubt regarding the ucsf essay q
If you were employed while obtaining your dental degree, how many hours a week did you work, and what was the nature of your employment?

does employed mean being employed for a payment? or could it also mean employed at as association/organization/volunteer work ? i think i know the answer but just wanned to confirm.

Its supposed to be a paragraph of maximum 4-5 lines. anything more than that becomes too much.
They are asking about employment i.e. i think they are asking about a paid job...otherwise there was another question with volunteering ,extra curricular etc. asking about non paid work.
Like students in US work, get paid and side by side study from which they pay their tuition.
So I think employed with a salary.
Hope this helps.
 
At the moment I'm trying to get transcripts , they are charging for them but still haven't recieved any notice of them being made or any sight of it happening. I think I would have to fly back in order to get the work done.

I am having exact situation.. How did you apply without originals?
 
I am planning to apply for UCSF before deadline i.e July 15th. But my TOEFL score is 90 which is less than the min required. I am planning to retake it again. I am confused whether to apply to this University or not. Can i apply to the university now and update the toefl score later even after the deadline.???


Plzzz Help...


Did you get an interview call from UCSF?
