Dear all international dentists,

Please feel free to ask and share your questions.

Best,

 

[supercool]

hello everyone lets rejuvenate this thread.
please post if anyone has any info regarding the school.
thank you everyone 🙂

 

[Anooogy]

I have submitted my application on Sunday.
Waiting for their reply.

 

[supercool]

everything is to be done online right ?
no postal stuff ..
can you please elaborate if possible.
would appreciate it.
thanks 🙂

 

[Anooogy]

Sure.

Scan all of your documents in black/white or gray PDF files. Then combine them into one single PDF file that doesn't exceed 5MB with no more than 300 dpi resolution.
Reduce oversize documents to 8.5" x 11" size. You will need also to rename the file like this Chang, Warren – 20141234567.pdf

Make sure to follow this order when combining your files into one:

Your dental CV.
The IDS Questionnaire.
Your LOR's starting with the recent one (Don't send more than 3).
NBDE results.
TOEFL score.
Dental diploma.
The application checklist.

Send them to [email protected]

Should the documents be scanned only in black or white ?! Is it a requirement ?! Or we can scan in color too ?!

Could anyone tell me what kind of teeth do California schools use for the bench test? is it Columbia or Kilgore? help please.

 

[Hardworking]

Should the LOR be different from the ones I have sent to CAAPID?

 

[Dhaval39]

Should the LOR be different from the ones I have sent to CAAPID?

They have not mentioned on there website about it.. So it depends on you.. they have said "Letters submitted to ADEA will not be considered by Pacific."
I guess what u send them will be the ones they will read.. hope this helps

 

[Hardworking]

thanks I have the letters that I sent to CAAPID along with additional letters so will send them.

Hi guys did anybody got enail reagarding toefl from UOP ?
What is it.?

 

[PRAMOD]

Hey supercool!

Ya i got the email from the UOP. I could understand that we were needed to send only the front page of toefl score report and computer printed scores are also eligible if score reports are not available.

Hope this will be useful.

Thank you.

 

[supercool]

Thanks Pramod
But if application is already complete then we are fine right?
No further step required?

 

[Hbk]

Hey did anyone receive an email for the receipt of CAAPID Application by the ids office? Not for the supplemental application, but CAAPID application?

 

[PRAMOD]

Thanks Pramod
But if application is already complete then we are fine right?

I don't think we need to do anything if application is complete. they have sent a subsequent email regarding the clarification. It is very clear in that email. did you get the application complete email from univ?

 

[Anooogy]

I called Warren to ask when they will start sending out invitations and he said 'very shortly'. So get ready guys.

 

[meika]

Anyone got an IV for October? Any idea on what we have to do for the exam?

 

[DrT18987]

Just got a rejection from UOP.. so I guess the invitations have started rolling out.. all the best everyone!
