hey guys...
i have applied to CU isp program for the last two years and is familiar with their adimssion processes...i can probably give you better and more accurate information then others who base their threads on rumours or inaccurate information...
CU is not on a rolling bases...therefore they will not be calling for any interviews until they review all files...it usually takes them two to three weeks after the deadline to send out interview letters...this year i am guessing that jane will be sending out letters sometime towards last week of Febuaray...they do have practical exam, which is class II composite and a crown prep both on premolars...they send out detailed info with the interview letter...
i talked to jane last week and she said that you will have to allow at least two to three weeks before after you submit applications for her to process it...she told me that she is sending out emails to let us know if our application is complete or not...if you have not yet heard from her, then you should browse through your spam mail folder or junk mail folder because sometimes her mails get filtered as junk mail....same with hers, usually hotmail and yahoo mails seemed to go into her junk mail folder..

i've had positive experience with CU the last two years and the faculty and students seem to be very nice....i've gained much personal experiencee that i can assist anyone who is interested in CU's admission process...it's a great school and two year program (where as most school's are three year program) and the tuition is lower than pretty much other schools and their new building is just breathtaking....i strongly suggest anyone who is debating their decisions visit colroado and just get to tour around and meet people...i promise you that you will not regret selecting CU...you just have to see it to believe it...

please ask me any questions you have and i will try to do my best...i wish you all good luck

Hi,
I really would appreciate it if anyone could tell me what the minimum requirement for part 1 is in this school?
 
Here is what jane miller had send me and the rest hope this will be helpful to all of you guys.🙂

Dear Applicant:



My name is Jane Miller and I am the coordinator for International Student Program at the University of Colorado School of Dentistry.

First of all, I would like to thank everyone for your interest in our program, and also for being so patient throughout this admission process. I cannot thank you enough for all of your support and understanding.



At this point, your application is complete and is ready for review. We are still accepting applications through March 1, 2007 and in order to guarantee an equal and fair chance for every applicant, no decisions regarding interviews will be made until all files have been reviewed. Please allow at least 3 to 4 weeks after March 1 for the admissions committee to review all applications and select interviewees. Although no exact date for interviews have been set, it will approximately take place in months of May and June. There will be a practical exam on the day of the interview and further detailed information will be sent out to those who are invited.



For your information, Colorado is a school which seeks for a well rounded applicant…we do not base our admission on just scores, but rather on the potential each applicant hold in themselves. I have been asked numerous times about average NBD scores….and every time my answer is that we do not have an average score, but a range of scores which reflects on our accepted students. In the past three years, the range of scores for our ISP students were from 75 to 92. We consider all factors, including your personal essay, dental experience, classes (not GPA) taken during dental school, recommendation letters, and any other CE courses, voluntary works, academic schoolings beyond dental school, and etc.



Please remember that I am here for your assistance…due to high number of inquiries, I may take a few days to get back to you but please do not hesitate to contact me for anything…usually I respond to emails much faster than phone calls.



Once again, thank you for your interest in CU ISP program. I wish everyone the best.

Hey,
Usually CU accepts students with 75-92 scores (or atleast that's what Ms. Jane Miller mentioned in her e-mail). U could have applied to CU but the deadline for Jan 08 was March 1st.
As if now you are too late for 2007 and too early for 2008. Wish you all the best.
 
i too received an email saying my application is complete. we will hear from them only in mid april. also if anybody knows abt the practical test, pls post here. thanx
 
Just see how sweet our loving Jane Miller is ... Don't bother her with any stupid questions.. if you do you might upset a nice person like her.. Wait until you get the interview call.. Kudos to Jane..

Dear Applicant

Greetings from CU!!

Hope all is well with you~

Deadline has finally passed (phew!!) and admission committee has started reviewing your application…

As of right now, we are expecting to send out interview calls within the first week of April…

For actual interviews, no exact dates have been set, however, it will approximately take place in mid-May and mid-June…

This year, the number of seats available for the program will remain at 20…

I just wanted to send out this email to say hello and also to make sure that I’ve answered all of your questions…

If there is anything else I can do to ease this process for you, please do not hesitate to contact me…

Once again, thank you for your interest and for all of your patience.

Take care and I hope to meet you personally in near future.

Yours Truly,

~Jane

Hello~

Hope this e-mail finds you well….

The admissions committee completed reviewing your application and is under process of selecting interview candidates…

I am hoping the final list would come to me by end of this week, or early next week at the latest.

I hate to have everyone keep waiting, but I am eager to find out as well~

As always, please email me for further questions and concerns…I found out that for some reason, large number of emails (including hotmail, yahoo, and gmail) are going into my junk mail file…so if you don’t hear back from me, try to send me another mail with different email account…

Once again, thank you for all of your patience and understanding.

Does anyone know What tooth and what kind of cavity do they ask in the bench exam?
 
hey nevio,

looks like u have been to the interview ,could u let if the pratical is purely clinical like tooth preps or they have some abstract pracs like loma linda .Any kinda info will be greatly appertiated.
 
Here is some information regarding bench test at colorado which i got from earlier posts in this forum.


NileBDS
They requested a mo alamg. prep on #30 and a PFM prep. #3.
In addidtion, they have a series of wax excercises. It's really nothing you can prepare for, you just have to have good psychomotor skills. They give you 3 different types of wax and ask you to mold different shapes out of them on a card they give you. It was ok, once you get your hands to stop shaking from the interview.
The good thing is that you will have plenty of time.

The interview was good. In the morning there was a short orientation, the Director said couple words too. Then they divided us into groups, part of us had practical, the rest went for the interviews. Practical was #3 gold crown prep and #19 MO prep, and then we had to do waxing exersize. They give you an example of what you have to do. We had three hours to do everything. For the interview itself there were two people interviewing, mostly asked usual questions, like "tell about yourself, the education system, what do you like to do in your spare time". Also there was at least one question from dentistry. The students from this year class were there all day and helped a lot, they were realy nice and freindly. There was no tour around the school, because they are moving into a new building in October.
They told us, that there will be another batch of the interview next month, they will interview about 75 people and accept only 12. So all the best to everybody who will get the call for July interview.

ONE IS PREPARATION ON THE# 19 MOD PEPARATION AND ANOTHER ONE IS CROWN PREPARATION ON THE #3.THE TOTAL TIME IS 3 HOUR.AFTER FINISHING THE PREP,YOU HAVE TO DO THE WAX PATTERN




hey nevio,

looks like u have been to the interview ,could u let if the pratical is purely clinical like tooth preps or they have some abstract pracs like loma linda .Any kinda info will be greatly appertiated.
 
hey thanks for the posting man ,gives an idea abt what goes on in their bench test .Any ways have to wait n watch if iam going to get the interview call .Should be clear by this wk end the latest i guess. keeping my fingers crossed.👍
