very helpfull thankyou
You're welcome! Glad this helped :)
So helpful
thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!
Funny introduction thanks for the info
You literally saved my life (or mind at least) since I was about to go lock myself far away from this insane world of dental documentation. Thank you! One last question, can you register to take the INDBE while ECE is still processing your application?
Aww I feel you! I know it could be overwhelming… trust me i was sooo stressed when going through this whole process! I think you can register, but they’re gonna have to wait til they receive your ECE report before sending you an email that you’re eligible to take the inbde. So you can register, but can’t do anything til your ECE report is ready. P.S. dont worry, ECE works very quickly!
This is an awesome vid...
I'm going through this process, I just sent my documents...
I'm not sure what the further steps should be like applying for dental programs or like residency or what?
Thank you very much for this helpful guide!
Does it take long for ADA to process the ECE form and email you?
They don't take long at all. Could take a few days after ECE sends in your report.
i have a question regarding the recipients of the inbde results page, how will i know which ones to select? as in which state board should get my result ?
Hii....do we need to book the exam in just 6 month after we get the eligibility mail??does eligibility expires after 6 month?
Hey sandy ! I have Question ,I have to follow the same steps if I am currently in US
Hi, I have one question while creating a dentpin , in the address column which address do we have to mention like our home country address where we finished our education or the USA address.
hi, your videos really helps! you explained it so well and detailed. I would like to know for the nbde part1 subjects like microbiology or physiology, biochemistry etc. what kinds of study materials you used? I have only the book first aid part 1, but seems like you only bought first aid part 2. thank you :)
hi, i responded in the other video :)
When rescheduling inbde, do we choose available new dates before canceling the determined exam appointment?
Hi! I’m so sorry, I’ve never rescheduled so I can’t answer that. Did you figure out how to?
Hi Sandy, great video very helpful! Quick question, once ECE sends report to JCNDE, how would they know that I am applying for INBDE in specific and not for ADAT for example? or will they reach out to me with that question? Thanks
I don't think the ECE report needs to be specific for any type of test. They're just converting your credits to U.S. credits, so you can use that to apply for INBDE or any other tests/schools. However, each test/school may require a different type of report (e.g. Course by course evaluation or General report). Just find out what they need and apply accordingly!
God bless, thank you doctor!
I just have one question at 05:20, if I'm planning on taking ASP what category do I have to check?
Course by course report, or General report with grade average?
Good day Doc Sandy :)
Thank you so much for the awesome video I really appreciate it with your fantastic video I didn't get challenging to apply but I got a couple of questions.
1. If I re-apply for the INBDE due to failure or fail will I still need to make ECE again?
2. is there no expiration of INBDE? Like Tofel?
To be honest, I don't know the answers to your questions, but I did some research and I think for INBDE, it depends on the dental schools you're applying for. Some require INBDE that has been taken within the last 3 years or 5 years.
As for the ECE, I think you should be able to use the same one as long as it's still valid.
Hey Sandy…when you select the electronic delivery to institution as jcnde while applying for ece evaluation do the ece sends your gpa directly to the jcnde???
2.if ece sends the electronic report directly to jcnde is it necessary to fill the eligibility form to jcnde??
In the online application for ECE, you need to request for a copy to be sent to JCNDE, and your GPA will directly be sent to JCNDE. The Certificate of Eligibility is only needed if you have not graduated from dental school yet (still a student).
Hi..thank you soo much for the video I just have one question. I have sent my ece report to jcnde and they received it but I still haven’t got eligibility letter. Should I also do the payment of inbde exam fee before receiving eligibility letter? Or should I wait till they send the eligibility letter? This whole process is soo overwhelming.. please help! Thank you
In the end I forget to mention my education details how can I reset my stuff ?
Try contacting them. I asked them a bunch of questions regarding my case and they were extremely helpful!
Thanks it’s really helpful 🙏
Should I apply for WES before ADA?
you'd use your dentpin to login to ADA, so i'd suggest creating a dentpin first. it's a super quick process and then you can apply for WES right after.
Hey I have a question, the elegibility form must be printed, filled and then do I take a pic or scan it in order to send it via email to JCNDE? Because it needs signatures… or the signatures may be electronically filled ?
I believe you can do either but I printed mine, got physical signatures, and scanned them
Thank you so much for such an amazing video for your work!
I just have 1 question, even if I have the original documents and diploma with Supplement and will mail them to ECE, do I still need to ask my university to send them an email with the documents?
Thank you so much for your upcoming answer
if you have already mailed the hard copy to ECE, you don't need to email them the documents!
Hey thank so so much for this amazing video. just a quick question, the certificate of eligibility can be sent by whom through email? Should it be by the school itself or i can send it by using my personal email?
you can send it using your personal email!
Hey Doc, thank you so much for the video. I just wanted to know what’s the best degree evaluation organization if someone is planning to apply for dental schools in the states? WES or ECE?
Thanks
I’ve done evaluations from both WES and ECE and based on my experience, I would definitely recommend ECE! The evaluations were much quicker and I could contact them easily via the ECE live chat. With WES, it was a little bit difficult to contact someone. But it all depends on what your dental school accepts though. If they accept both then that’s great! :)
hello, if I don't have a degree yet (graduating in june 2022), Should I not send it ?
you can! you just have to do 1 additional step (step 3) compared to dental graduates.
Hi Sandy ! Do we need green card in US to take iNBDE test ?
Hi! No, you absolutely don’t need a green card.. I came in with my tourist visa!
Hi! Thank you so much for this really helpful video. I just want to ask a question about the ECE evaluation. Is it possible that only grades of dental school are being evaluated? I mean could I don't upload grades from senior high for ECE evaluation?
I uploaded everything just in case! I think they do want the high school grades as well.
Hi! Question for you;
Do you need to be in the US in order to take the INBDE? Or can you take it in your home country? Thank you!
you need to take in the US!
Hi can you please make a video on how to study for the INBDE exam
i was planning to, but things got so hectic after making this video! sorry for the wait!
hi sandy ,thanx a lot for providing such valuable information just wanna ask to qualify IDNBE exam you must be graduated ?means during BDS study can some one do?
You don’t need to! You just have to do an additional step (certificate of eligibility)
Can I ask one thing?
After INBDE is it possible to get paid for residency in USA ?
If someone has DDM degreee
i'm not too sure but from my understanding, you need to pay to do residency
Are you sure about emailing the eligibility form electronically via email? I couldn't find the info online and wanted to be sure someone has tried it and that it worked. Thank you so much!
yes, you can! i did it via email and it has 100% worked :) i tried looking for where i found that information, but couldn't find it.. sorry!
@@sandypriyawatkim and did you email it yourself or let your university email it? also what did you include in the email?
@@sandypriyawatkim also did you send it immediately? Or did wait until they received the ECE and approved it?
@@reemibrahim2396 emailed it myself. make sure to include your dentpin and ECE reference number. I sent it after i received my ECE report.
Thank you It's really helpful!
I have Q about ECE, what they mean by Attendance dates in Education history?
I put in the estimated dates i attended each school
Hi. I have a question☺️ Is there a chance that JCNDE wont let you take the exam because of your grades? thank you
I’m not sure about this but my advice is to give it a shot! If you don’t try, you’ll never know :)
Hello, I have a question for you!! First of all, thank you for all the information, my question is, how can I apply to take the exam in Canada but I have my accreditation valid only in California but two people mentioned to me that they applied the exam from Canada and it was valid, how can I select which Is my exam in Canada valid in the USA?
and finally, the link to apply to take the exam no longer works :( 😢
Can we check for exam dates available before payment
yes, you may check the available exam dates for each test center right now through this website: securereg3.prometric.com/ProgramSelection.aspx?mode=seatavail
Can you give this exam during dental school as an undergraduate?
Yes you can! You just need to submit the certificate of eligibility in addition to the other stuff
Hi, how long is the INBDE valid to do the other steps ?
i did a google search on this and based on this website, INBDE results are valid for 3 years.
nbde-exam.com/nbde.html#:~:text=Your%20INBDE%20scores%20are%20valid,the%20date%20of%20the%20exam.
Hey! Can an undergraduate from European universities take the INBDE ?
Of course!
Hi Sandy, can I use the WES Icap course to course evaluation as an alternative to the ECE?
Yes, WES works just the same!
@@sandypriyawatkimthank you.
Hi sandy, it's been about 3 weeks since I had WES send my evaluation to JCNDE/ADA. I paid for next day delivery, and I haven't received any email from them in acknowledgement.
What do I do at this point? Should I keep waiting or proceed to apply for INBDE?
I have a few doubts regards completing my ece form .. would be really helpful if you responded thank you in advance
1) Is USA address and phone number recommended in ece application or Indian address will do?
2) In ece evaluation what should we select in institutions receiving ECE report?JCNDE ? JCNDE or CAAPID or any universities
3) Educational history mentions a disclaimer if post secondary level (University) of education is completed there's no need of high school. It means no need of 10 to h 11th and 12th class have i got it right?
4) i have my documents ready in university sealed cover but they are 2 yrs old should I re take them or existing ones will do?
I will try my best to answer your questions.
1) Indian address will do (I also used a Thai address and phone number)
2) ECE evaluation for the purpose of applying for the INBDE only needs to be sent to JCNDE/ADA as a general report.
3) From my understanding, I think you only need to put your university level in. But just to be safe, I entered my high school education information as well.
4) I am not too certain about this, but I think they should be okay to send over, since they're just trying to convert your grades from your transcript to a U.S. equivalent grade.
@@sandypriyawatkim thank you
Hello, thanks a lot for video,
I have some questions here,I would be so thankful if you could answer for them
1.What is INBDE For,when you are a student yet ? is it to study on residency in the US ?
2.Can i apply when i am a student on 2 course?(if not,When can I apply for that ?)
Thank you so much
Waiting your answer
You need to take INBDE if you want to apply for international programs for dental graduates. You can apply for it as a student, as long as you get the certificate of eligibility signed.
What if I use WES instead of ESE
sure, you can do that
Hey doc! Will wes evaluation work instead of ece evaluation
yes, WES will work just the same!
Hi Sandy! I have Wes evaluation where do I send that bc there is not option where I apply for indbe
Thank you for the video! it was very helpful. Just had one question. Do you have to wait for JCNDE to recieve the copy of the evaluation to register for INBDE and make the payment?
yes! you need to wait for JCNDE to send you a confirmation email saying you're eligible to take the INBDE before you register and make the payment.
I am freshly graduate and i didnt do the intership yet can i apply ?
yes, you can! you can even apply as a dental student (non-graduate)
Hey! Thank you for such a helpful video. I had a question, I’m currently getting the ECE evaluation done for applying for INBDE but I will be applying to dental schools in the US in future. Do you recommend I request a course by course evaluation in that case? Will the report be available later to be sent to dental schools, or do I have to repeat ECE?
You can do a course by course evaluation and use it for both INBDE and dental school application. I'm not sure whether there's a time period for when it will be valid until, but just make sure it's still valid when you're submitting it for dental school application!
Thank you for your response
Hey Sandy, thanks for the information, its really helpful for everyone here who wants to get a license in the US. Uhm I have few questions that i want to ask.
1. Should I pick the school first and then take the Inbde based on school’s schedule? Or Can I take the Inbde (if I pass) first then apply to few schools? Or it doesn’t matter?
2. Can I apply for the school first without passing the Inbde test? If i graduate the dental school(in the Philippines) and tell them im gonna take the test before I graduate the dental program in the States.
3. It seems like each States have different requirements(California, or New york, or Chicago etc). Do we need other requirements other than Inbde test based on the different States?
4. People who have graduated the dental school no matter which country is, able to apply for the Inbde and the dental schools in the States?
Thank you in advance and sorry for too much question 😅😅
Hi. I'll try my best to answer all of your questions!
1. I would recommend you pick the school first before taking the INBDE so you have a clear deadline. But if you choose to take the INBDE first then apply, that works too. I just prefer the first option because I don't want to give myself too much or too little time to prepare for the INBDE.
2. I don't think you can apply for the school without passing the INBDE. It's a requirement for all the schools I applied to, and I think this is probably the case for other schools too.
3. Each school has different requirements. For most schools, the tests they expect you take include INBDE and TOEFL. I've seen some schools mention ADAT, but that's usually not a requirement.
4. People who have graduated dental school from any other country is able to apply to take the INBDE. I'd suggest you apply for international programs for dentists instead of the regular dental schools, since it allows you to save time and the competition isn't as tough. This website has a list of schools that offers international dental programs: www.adea.org/dental_education_pathways/CAAPID/Pages/CAAPIDDirectory.aspx
Hope this helps!
Hi dr. Thank u so much for the video . helps alot. By the way I've added you in Facebook. In case I've some questions regarding this matter. I just graduated from dentistry
Hi! Congratulations on your graduation btw :D
You can message me the questions on facebook or you can post your questions in here as well!
@@sandypriyawatkim Hi sandy . im sina . fresh graduate in dentistry (DMD) . here in philippines but originally im iranian . i want to ask what is the very first step that should i take. Find a university? Or directly apply for NBDE and student visa? Do I still need to take the 2 additional years before I get my license?
@@love1234458 Hi Sina! That’s a really good question! Practicing dentistry in the United States require you to take an additional 2 years, even if you have already graduated as a dentist from another country. If you are certain that that’s what you’ll be doing, the first step that I would recommend is to look for a university that provides an international dental program, and see when their application deadlines are so you can start planning out your test dates. Once you have a few schools in mind, you can start applying for the INBDE and book your test dates based on those application deadlines. Hope this helps!
@@sandypriyawatkim Oh thanks alot for the information .appreciate it 😍
@@sandypriyawatkim Sandy i have a question.. What university do u recommend or which university did u apply . because i am having hard time finding one .
Sawadee kub Sandy. I have done BDS from India and MSc from Thailand. How should i get course by course evaluation. Khop. khun kub
