Hello Guys,
I can feel your feeling of getting into this application cycle and thinking about interview calls and so forth.
As a current IDDP student at UIC, I feel very lucky to be a part of this institution and have no regrets of choosing UIC over others schools, as I declined some other acceptances. So far the faculty at UIC is very very nice and helpful. They make sure that you understand each and everything.
My 2 cents towards application cycle -
---Our class is 100% Part2, so If you can write part2 then do it, if time is short just apply with part1 now and then update with Part2 result ASAP..
--Try to apply early..and Keep in touch with Braulia or Caroline , that will help you..
--Write a very nice SOP
--Try to get as much US experience as you can - it can be in any form -- Volunteer/observer-ship/shadowing, RDA/CDA/Dental Assistant job, Dental Hygiene, Research work, publications, MPH/MHA.
Don't give-up or get frustrated, keep your spirits high, this too shall pass.. Have faith in your yourself and trust God 🙂
Let me know If I can be of any help ! Good luck everyone 👍
