I may have underestimated the difficulty of applying for Dental School in US, so I listed my brief background below and would like to hear what you would think about my chance.

1) I graduated from a non US or Canada university. I read somewhere else that transcripts from college outside US and Canada will greatly affect the application. Is it true?
2) My DAT: PAT-28; QR-25;RC-19; BIO-26; GC-21; OC-26;TS-23;AA-23
3) I have green card, so I am not really an international applicant.
4) I should be able to get strong LORs from my former and current research advisers; also I should be able to get a LOR from a dentist whom I did shadowing with.

Any comments or suggestions will be really appreciated!

I didn't graduate from a dental school abroad, so I don't think I can do nbde part 1 and 2. Or can I?

I actually just received a reply email from Harvard DS admission office. I was shocked that the person said all the prerequisites are required to be taken at a university in US or Canada. If that's true, I guess I just have to give up my dream of becoming a dentist. Has anyone been in a similar situation like mine and yet got in dental school? Please enlighten me!

Thanks,

Try other dental school. maybe im not the right person to tell you what to do, but if you are a green card holder, u might get a chance.
