Thank you. You can shadow a dentist and attend some CE courses.

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?

Thank you for informative video. Can you do a video about finance in dental school . Fee structure is really high and it's confusing

can you do video on interview questions and how to answer them pleasee

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?

@rahulnagda3113

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.

Hi Harsh, you can look into options like MHA, Preceptorship and Advanced clinical training(ACT) programs.

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?

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.

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.

how long should the statement of purpose be?
