Hi, all!

I see there are past pathway threads but there isn't one for this cycle!

Has anyone hear back from USC regarding the decision?
 
I have received an email too but haven't received the package yet.

Congrats all of you who got accepted!

The best way in your situation is to apply as a foreign student through AADSAS. The cycle opens first week of June. It is best to have your application completed by September, because itbwill put your application on top for review and will be in your favor, especially for rolling admissions and first pick interviews. You will need to provide your DAT score and TOFEL as well as all transcripts. I believe, although I am not positive, since you are a foreign dentist you would have to complete the last two years of a US dental program, if not all 4 years. Also, you will have to retake all of your boards. AADSAS has the option to select any or all of the US schools to apply to and will also have information on which school require supplemental and will list the fees. There is the option, after opening the online portal, to download an app and watch for acceptance/review/rejections. That info will also be available through the AADSAS portal. Best of luck!
 
ps. Keep in mind DAT scores are only good for 3 years.

Congrats!! Do you know of a Facebook page we can all add to to get to know eachother? Or maybe the school will do that after everyone has secured their spot?

My understandings is that if you are applying to a dental college, yes you would. After you choose which universities you want to apply to, I would contact the admissions coordinator, the expectations will vary from college to college.

I would also like to know this. Would you also need to take the DAT beforehand as well? My girlfriend is applying to hygiene school and is possibly thinking about applying to both Loma Linda's and USC's DH/DDS programs.

you don't have to take the DAT now until you begin to do the application for dental school after you get your B.S degree in dental hygiene.
