guess u can just wait to 2012 when scores will just be pass or fail. then it wont matter what scores you have and your application will look better

You can give Nbde part 2 and try re-taking toefl with scores above 100.
Try to gain some shadowing experience.

prepare for part 2 and get a good score. It helps to evaluate that u knw ur material. Also even if u have to wait till 2012 u will have at least part 2 out of ur way. good luck friend.

I feel you can do better on TOEFL as its easy.

Try getting more exp in field so that it reflects on ur profile that you had been active in one or other ascpect of dental field.

You will be fine, just take nbde2 and get over with it , retake toefl to get more than 100 and apply and you can wait until 2012 there won't be any scores.

You are right but after 2012, there will be pass or fail but ADA will give ranking for students who will pass their exam. It will be like merit so don't worry......

Hi dental word
what do you mean by give ranking for students? Do you mean they will report your rank if you pass the exam?
