Hello everyone,

How r u guys preparing for the interview and especially bench test?

Please do share your thoughts..
 
Hey guys,
can you help clarify my doubt!
i thought Colorado university do not have rolling admissions and they do not start the interviews until the deadline.The deadline is April 2nd.It says in their website that they will only start giving out interviews after the deadline. The following is from their application instruction

"All application, required documents and fee must be received by or post marked by April 2, 2010. Any documents post marked after this date will not be considered as part of the application. Once application is received, an email confirmation stating the status of the application will be sent out. Please note that admission process is not on a rolling-basis, therefore, applicants will receive notice of decision after the proposed deadline."

Please reply

what a relief! denver dental is finally banned! My thanks to the administrators.

People should be writing stuff that would inspire fellow students, colleagues and encourage them. Not write about some tabloid stuff that's all crap.

hey guys, if you think Colorado is for you, then go for it. Good luck!

For UOC, they have not mention anything as such in the email....


The bench test consists of preparing 2 teeth for restoration on a typodont. We use electrical handpieces, and standard plastic teeth. If you have not practiced on plastic teeth in a while, you may find that it takes a little practice to get used to them again, so I would encourage you to practice if you are able. More detailed information will follow in the hard copy letter....

Right now i am travelling out of US so i dont know what is there in the package also....sorry

Hey ONS

Thanks for prompt reply..Yes i think they send all the specification - their expectation, which tooth, and other thngs on day of interview through formal post..

Can u please specify more on plastic teeth? Do u mean the ivorian typodonts or is it some other specific type of teeth? It wud b great if you can explain a bit more..Do we have to purchase them online? I was thinking to buy from a dental store..

thanks again..good luck..
 
all bloody bull-****

Hey,

Can u pls tell what is usual exercise they ask in bench test? I understand that it is different every year but like are they likely to ask PFM on anterior/ PFM on posterior/Full gold crown? I think Class 2 and wax exercise is certainly there.. I want to know which kind of crown cutting they usually ask out of three i mentioned?

Thanks a lot..
 
Hi everyone.

Best luck, and God Bless
 
Thank you DFBund, that's really reassuring.
I have a question for everyone visiting this thread. Has anyone's check been cashed (application fee) so far?

They said they will be sending out a packet through mail.Good luck to everyone

Hi tamer,

could you please tell us if you recieved any e-mail previously telling you of 'application complete' or 'under review' kind of stuff. Please let us know, because, I sent my application in September and haven't recieved any confirmation e-mails from them.
Thank you.
 
I received an email about 5 or 6 days ago from Jane Miller that my application was under review.Then received the invitation yesterday.I sent my application at the end of February.
My stats are very modest compared to most-so to everyone, there's hope.
Part 1 -86
Part 2-80
Toefl-111
GPA-2.76
worked as DA,RDH for yrs here in the US


Good luck to everyone

Hi!
i am trying to do crown cuttings and i've become an expert at this.Wow! at making sure that i nick the adjacent tooth and at making absolute crates on the intended tooth.Its like as if a meteor fell on it or something.Oh! God not to mention the holes that i drill on it.And...and the undercuts.Its like a window sill where i can put one small little wild flower to decorate and camoflage that undercut.In short,i am in bad shape.Well! Good night! everyone.Happy practicing!

Hey Twinklestar,

I finally got the magic call for the 8th of May. I am all tense and mudlled up now as to where to start. I have a question for everyone, which is:
Can we use a matrix band in between the teeth when we make a class 2 in order to prevent nicking the adjacent tooth?? I know some schools allow that, like UMDNJ, but does anyone have an idea if CU allows that????
