I know that we have to carry our original certificates for interview.but, what about markscards?IN the ASPID application it was given ithat we are supposed to submit a sealed envelope of our markscards during the day of interview.Do all of you have a sealed envelope of your markscards from your previous dental school?PLease let me know.

Is there anyone attending from NewJersey or east side?
 
Best of luck to both who got interview calls and who are waiting.

and also do we have any theory exam?????

I just got an email of invitation too....

My problem is applying for the visa to the states... this might take a while 🙁

What is all this abouit the exam equipment cost.... they want us to buy everything!

1600$ too much money and it doesn't mean they accepted us in the program!


Anybody want to talk more about it and make a plan with me they are welcome...

Good luck everyone 😎

Hi All,

Does anybody has idea about what they mean by #700 r.a., 33 1/2r.a.,701r.a., 701 f.g., 956 f.g.
 
Petition for delay of the interview

Who is with me?

I know many of you have difficulties attending multiple interviews.

I thought if all of us who have been invited to the USC interview send messages to the department, they might submit to the request and accept to delay the interview date!

Who is in?

Spread the news please...👍

Let the header of the message we will all send be the same!
 
hey,
i got an interview call too!!1600$ is insane!!is this how it works every year?how do students manage to pay that much?very confused wat to do..

hey dentzy even i will be coming from uop to usc for interview.
may be we can club in together.
meanwhile any female intrested in sharing room with me for 28 and 29th pls private msg me.
is it necessary to purchase all these instruments from them. wot kind of handpiece they need. i have a 4 hole handpiece , one i am gonna use in uop.

good luck to all those who r waiting. 👍
 
hey friends i have a doubt,,,,assume that i pay 1600$ and buy the instruments,,and god forbid if i am not accepted in usc but fortunately i am accepted in some other school,,can i use the same instruments or do i have to buy again according to the school's list...I know that instruments will be the same but still u never know what rules the school is going to have,,,

If we can use the same instruments then i think we can afford to buy the instruments,handpiece and all stuff,,,plz somebody who is already accepted or who knows more abt all this plz clear this doubt,,,
 
Got an interview call to usc.1600 that is steep:does anybody already at usc or any other school have any suggestions on that.Well it's good they emailed and let us know -i wonder how many candidates per seat???
Thanks and all the best to all here.
 
I also got interview from USC. Still no word from any experienced fellow about equipment. i would also be flying from uop.
 
:laugh: 400 $ for high speed and 770 for slow speed. Man thats way much ............
I am not comfortable with a 130 $ handpiece yet :laugh: .
Hey by the way i dont even know wot does the most of this stuff from list means. Can some one help me with them ?
Mirror/Exp 3A/C. Pliers (1 Set) $20.81
#3 exp EXS3A $6.89 each

Thanks
 
Dear Friends
How may posistion are open at USC for this year? what is their acceptance ratio?
 
hey guys...about the equipment...i honestly don't think we have to buy the stuff from USC itself...they're just letting u know that they won't be providing any of it & we have to find it on our own...& they suggested their dental store as a place where we could buy it...

as to ppl who asked if we will be using this stuff later on, if we do or do not get accepted to USC, for sure we will if u plan on practicing as a dentist 😉

see u all there 😉
 
There are 32 seats and 100 will be called for interview. Eqyptianeyes77 is right. You do not have to buy instruments from there. They are just for your convenience. Just make sure you should bring everything what is on the list. I am not sure about Typodont if it would be equilibrated. You have to call book store to find out.
 
hi..

count me in .... I got interview call from usc too..

congratulations to all of them who got interviews and all the best to those who all are still waiting....

Well my question is how you all guys preparing for the practicals and how are you managing the instruments ...... confused ....😕

I am Sorry. First, she asked me to look for more ppl. Later, she called me and informed that they have all the labs booked for rest of the month. Therefore, they can not run another session.
