Thanks guys for making this video! It really help to know people who have gone through share exactly what you are going through!! Thank you for doing this.. waiting for part 2. More power to you guys!!
A lot depends on your overall profile. Having toefl around 105 will make your application much more competitive. You still have time to re-take toefl this cycle. Good luck!
You can shadow a dentist. You could most likely do a 1 month preceptorship at Boston university on a visitor visa. Although you need to verify with the school.
Thank you guys. After seeing this video, i had a huge mental relief 😅 Well i had 2 questions. Im a greencard holder, so is there any privilage for greencard holders in selection for admission? And second question - i have taken many useful courses and lectures and seminars during my internship period. Some of them were IDA approved. So should i mention all of them in my CV?
Green card holders have advantage. Especially if a person rejects his acceptance at last moment, green card holder is preferred. Limit CV to 2 pages. You can mention important CE courses if space permits.
hey there rahul. nice video. i wanted to ask that is there any course other than MPH which you can persue in america before doing DDS? personally i think MPH is too mainstream and i wanted to know if anything else was on the table. thank you in advance.
Could you please tell me if we need to re-apply for second or third times, should we ask new letters of recommendation for every year , as most schools want the letters to be written in 1 year?
Both GPA and Toefl score are on the lower end. Having research in your profile is good but it is not a major factor in selection. Most schools prefer GPA over 3.0 You might have a chance if there is good reason for low GPA. If not, I would advice you to enroll in masters program like MPH, MHA, MS, etc. and improve your GPA. Also, try to improve your toefl score.
Having gone through multiple cycles with no interviews,I would like to focus on improving my file.If not MPH,what do you recommend? Outside of research,preceptorships,shadowing/assisting the options seem limited at this point.
@@mohammadkabadaya984 Focus on things you want to learn. For e.g. preceptorship in a subject you are interested in. Also, look at your personal statement. Maybe modifying your SOP may help in getting you interviews.
Hey I wanted to know if students will be accepted if they pass INDBE on second attempt..I wrote the exam in haste and lost it by 1%..I'm so worried about this. I know I will pass the next time..and I will be more careful about it..but I'm kinda worried
Earlier the better. That being said, it won't harm to apply in May. My advice is to keep your caapid application ready. The day you get the result- send applications. Good luck!
Rahul Nagda thank you for your reply! Do you recommend applying in next cycle then? Or should I go ahead and apply this year in May? Which one is better according to you? Are the chances really less?
@@manalidesai4347 As we discussed in the video, GPA is not a sole criteria. There are many other factors involved in the decision making process. Many people get admitted with GPA of 3.0 as well.

A very good and informative video. Thanks a lot for making this video. my TOEFL score is 97. Do you think I should not apply or wait till I Get 100?

you may apply, and if possible retake the exam to at least get a score of 100
Thanks for putting up such a helpful video. What are some good ways to gain some kind of work experience in the US if you are on a B1/B2 visa?
Thank you. You can shadow a dentist and attend some CE courses.
can you do video on interview questions and how to answer them pleasee
Thanks for the video, Dr. Rahul. What are the options for B1/B2 visa holders to gain U.S experience? I need your expert guidance.

Hi Harsh, you can look into options like MHA, Preceptorship and Advanced clinical training(ACT) programs.
Could you please tell me if we need to re-apply for second or third times, should we ask new letters of recommendation for every year , as most schools want the letters to be written in 1 year?
I failed anatomy 2 and thus have to delay graduate. Is it still possible for me to apply or I’m just done here?
Score high in your exam next time, complete your studies and then you can definitely apply. Good luck!
Rahul Nagda
Thank you very much
Can a person with 2.5 GPA get into dental school
Are applicants required to send only dental school documents and transcripts or add anything else
Check for requirements listed on school's or CAAPID website.
Can u plz make a video on inbde?
Is 2.92 gpa really bad to apply to a dental school. I have 16 research papers to my name and 100 toefl score.??

Is MPH the best option to strengthen profile? Thanks
MPH is just a way to enhance. I would not recommend that option if you not interested in that field.

Great, thanks for the help.
how long should the statement of purpose be?
Go to Caapid website for specific word limit. Usually it comes to around 1 and 1/2 page
