THIS LIST IS SPECIFICALLY FOR INTERNATIONAL DENTAL PROGRAMS (IDP's) or ADVANCED STANDING PROGRAMS (AS). First off, it should be made clear that no dental school is easy to gain admission into. This ranking is about the easier dental schools that international students worried about admission should aim to include on their application lists. For graduates of accredited undergraduate universities applying to 4-year DDS or DMD programs, see our 'Easiest US Dental Schools to Get Into' post. Information provided here is approximate (but as accurate as possible) and is updated as required. Thank you for turning to Top 10 Nation for this important information. International or foreign-trained dentists, especially from areas such as India, Korea, Latin America, and the Middle East are looking for the easiest dental schools in the United States to apply to.

thank you, this is great! best information for us, i was looking for this
ReplyDeleteThank you guys sooooo much for sharing this. These info. helps rest of the dentist-hopefuls like me so much!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
I don't see how having Christian ideals integrated into a school curriculum is a disadvantage. This is a consideration for many who apply and definitely not a disadvantage.
ReplyDeleteThis is the mother-load of all the information that we foreign trained dentists need....Love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great information. Just wanted to confirm one thing, is it true that chances of getting approved in school are less if you apply late, say the last month of the deadline? Also i have heard Boston dental school does not get enough patient for all the students? Would you be able to help me with these questions?
ReplyDeleteYes your chances are significantly lower the later you apply. The earlier you apply, the better your chances of admission. Boston University does struggle a bit with finding appropriate patients for students, as do many other schools. Some AS students at BU do tend to graduate a bit late on average. Overall, AS students still think BU is a great school to attend.
ReplyDeleteHey thanks for replying to my questions about Boston university... just a quickie...i am applying only to NYU and Boston as it is too late for any other school. If i have to make a choice in program for advanced placement of foreign trained dentist, which program would you grade better overall:))
ReplyDeletethanks alot this was really great,i wanted to know this since long time and i succeeded nw thanku
ReplyDeleteI would rank BU over NYU in the Advanced Standing programs simply because BU's program is 2 years long whereas NYU's program is 3 years long. An additional year of freedom and potential income makes BU's program infinitely better.
ReplyDeletethank you for the great information..could you please help me to know when is the best time
ReplyDeleteto apply for admission to dental schools
to take TOEFL exam?
when are NBDE Part I exams scheduled?
The answer to both of your questions is as soon as possible!
ReplyDeletethe NBDE Part 1 can be written any day by scheduling an exam at a Thompson Prometric Center in the US or Canada. I am unsure of the protocol outside of the US and Canada.
UPENN has 26 positins this year.
ReplyDeleteUSC has bench exam as well.
New schools to the list- UCLA, U of Med and Dentistry New Jersey, Columbia, U of MI. Thats all I can think of.
Good Blog though!
hey ,thanks this information is really of great help. can u please tell me about marquette university, i came to know that it also offers international dentist program..
ReplyDeleteVineet,
ReplyDeletePlease see the following link for more information, unfortunately, we have no other information regarding the program.
http://www.marquette.edu/dentistry/admissions/foreign.shtml
Thank you for the information. Could you please help me to know if there is any problem if I am applying to more than 2 universities?
ReplyDeleteNo problem. Apply to as many as you want..apply away.....
DeleteNot a problem at all, in fact, we encourage you to apply to a lot of schools if you are concerned about admissions!
ReplyDeleteWe live in Richmond, VA.
ReplyDeleteCan you please let me know if there are any universities in Virginia which admit foreign dental students?
thank you for help.my quesion is ,what can happen if the minimum score of NBDE I is 85 for some dental school,and i got 80.can i apply or not.
ReplyDeletethank you
Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis ranking is the best thing I found.
I have some questions for you.
I am applying for NYU but my NBDE score was 84,do you think I have chance?
I think that for Southern California you need to score high at NBDE I, it is not just pass
aarunsun,
ReplyDeleteThe only dental school in VA is Virginia Commonwealth University. As far as I am aware, they do not have a foreign advanced standing or IDP program.
Ahmed,
It is recommended that you apply to schools only if you meet the minimum standards. Generally, if you do not meet the minimum standards, your application is disqualified. For further information, contact the dental schools you are applying to directly.
Priscila,
Generally a higher score is required for admissions to most programs. The Part 1 score for USC quoted is the minimum score required to apply (simply a passing score). This does not mean that a passing score is sufficient for admission.
I hope this helps!
Hi!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDo you know how many seats Un.of Colorado have for international dentists?
Priscila,
ReplyDeleteColorado accepts 24 students each year. The program starts in January of each year. Applications are due by 1st or 2nd or March (depending on which day the 1st falls on) and interview invitations are out by early April. Interviews are usually in May and or June, and the class is announced by early or mid July. CU does not base admissions on a rolling-basis, therefore no decisions are made until all files are reviewed. There is a clinical exam on the day of the interview, and detailed information is sent out with the invitation. This information was obtained directly from the dental school.
THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have got selected for Advanced standing dental program interview in Boston University . CAn anyone tell me how will be the interview? what and all preparations I need to finish for attending it.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
ReplyDeleteDo any of the schools have restrictions based on the country of origin?
Thanks,
Hello I am a dental student in China. I want to ask if I want to apply to NYU DDS program. Do I need my autography? Or I just need to pass the NBDE part one and the TOEFL grade 230? And I want to know how do I find out my grade in China is recognized in here?
ReplyDeleteIndrani,
ReplyDeleteThe BU interviews vary greatly depending on the interviewer themselves. They are generally very laid back and simply conversational, with questions such as, "why do you think BU will be a good fit for you?" I hope this helps.
RezaE,
International programs generally do not favor applicants based on country of origin, but rather by academic performance. I hope this helps!
Sasha,
Your grades will be recognized by international dental programs, simply because international graduates have international dental programs geared to license them! I am not sure by what you mean by an autography, however, a complete application is required by schools including your grades from your international dental school and a personal statement, etc. I hope this helps!
Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is great! best information for me, i was looking for this
ReplyDeleteI have this question: what exactly is the difference between doing the IDP program, and just passing the boards??? To get for example a CA licence (DDS) as a foreing student, being a US citizen, do i necessary need to do the IDP?? or is that to be able to study another degree like pediatrics dentistry for example.... ???
ReplyDeletethank youª!
Guiselle,
ReplyDeletePassing the boards does not get you a license to practice. For most states with the exception of a couple of states, you need to complete an IDP program to be able to qualify for a license to practice dentistry. I hope this helps, for further information regarding the state in which you intend to practice, please contact the state dental board directly to see the requirements to obtain a license for that jurisdiction.
which state doesnt need us to finish da IDP?
ReplyDeleteSoham27,
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, we do not provide answers such as these, as these involve legalities, and constant policy changes that we do not track at this time. Perhaps in the future, we may decide to being providing this information.
Do I have to write both NBDE part 1 and NBDE part 2 to get admission in to an international dentist program?
ReplyDeleteBobby,
ReplyDeleteIt is usually just the Part 1 that you would have to take. It may depend on the individual schools you apply to as well. Please check the individual dental school websites you plan on applying to (prior to applying) to save your time and money.
I have a question; I am a dental student from China. If I want to take the NBDE part I, I should have pass my grade to ECE org for elevate, rite?? But what if they say it's not enough certificates?? What can I do to make up the certificate?
ReplyDeleteSasha,
ReplyDeleteI am not completely sure I understand your question, but it sounds as if you may need to take more undergraduate courses. I hope this helps!
Thank you, it helps a lot!! , I really need to make my question more specific.
ReplyDeleteAnd I got another question; my situation is that I have to study in my medical school for total five years. The beginning three and half years we study theoretical, the remaining one and half year we do the clinical (go to hospital for practical) part. So, the grades that ECE count include my practical part?? Or they only need the theoretical part?? So I can just turn my grade to ECE for evaluate (for NBDE part 1) after I finish my three and half years in school? Or I need to turn my grade for total five years?? Thanks for your patience again, I really appreciate your response. It really helps me to define which way I have to work toward.
my name is mohammad.....thank you guys ... this is a great site ... it helped me alot ... i would like your help though in one more thing... what are the easiest PAID GPR programs available for foreign international students ... is there like a top ten paid Gpr programs list?

ReplyDeleteAwesome blog btw
Extremely helpful .. thank you!
ReplyDeleteThere's something I am struggling with these days. I just moved to the US a couple of months ago, and am now getting ready to start studying for NBDE 1. I was checking out a few application pages for DDS programs, and their application dates are due in August.
I am not sure if I will have enough time to prepare for NBDE 1 (3.5 to 4 months). Is it better to give more time to prepare for NBDE and take it at a later time, and then wait almost a whole year to apply to programs, or better to step up the studying, take the NBDE a month or so earlier, and apply by the late date of application this year??
Would be extremely grateful if you could tell me what you think .. as I am sO confused!!
Hi, i got admission in kornberg Temple university! I had scored 87. I want to ask about the crime rate. Does it really matter? Also why didn't you enlisted this university in top 10?
ReplyDeleteHello there. I am currently a 3rd year undergraduate student and unfortunately my gpa is very low (reason=new to the country I am here only 4 years so when I entered university I could barely speak English-)). Therefore now I am trying to find a way around this problem so I am considering starting it all fresh at new university. Do you think this can correct my situation? (and of course I will be working extra hard there to get all A's). I would really appreciate your comment. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI got my results and got 84 in part 1 . what are my chances to get an admit?
ReplyDeleteThough provided still I would request for detailed information for entering MS/MSD programs in US.

thanks a lot for the info
Hey. My name is Simran. I had a few questions, it would be great if you can help me. I have been a US citizen for about 5 years now. I went to India to do my BDS(Bachelors in Dental Surgery) because I was offtrack here and wanted to get away from my society. Can you help me with the following questions:
ReplyDelete1. My exam is Dec 8, 2011. Do you think I have a chance to get in for 2012? If so, which colleges?
2. Is there any preference for US citizens?
3. My GPA is low, 2.5 is comprehensive and 3.05 is best. What do you think I need to get on the NDBE part 1 exam? Meaning to have a solid case.
Simran. Admissions for the 2012 session have pretty much ended, your best bet is to apply in February to university of Colorado.
ReplyDeleteThe only place with preference for US Citizens is University of chicago illinois, every where else gives equal placement to all depending on the scores. Yes your GPA is on the low side, you should try to score above an 87 or higher on your part 1, also to compensate for your low GPA you would have to do alot of volunteer work in dental offices.

ReplyDeleteTop 10 Nation.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is really good indeed. I found very useful your information, the rankings, the reasons about why is so good Boston, among other articles. In fact, as you can probably imagine, I want to continue my studies, in Boston. For several reasons I like this place, the culture, the education level of the people there, the history, the quality of life, etc. For that reasons (and more), nowadays I am dealing with all the necessary steps to achieve my goals (DAT - NBDE, getting as much information as I can about the programs, etc.).
I am thinking in apply with the DAT to Harvard, and with the NBDE I to Boston and Tufts, in this order. You can probably ask, why I am not considering more Universities? after all you recommend at last 10. And the answer is simple, with the DAT I can apply for Australia too (another great country) and there are the 10 applications. In addition, why I am not thinking in other states?, because I know Boston and I like it, and there I can work under a Limited License.
I will appreciate any suggestions that you can provide me. For example, how hard it is to get admitted in Harvard and what can I do to increase the probability to succeed on that.
Congratulations, not many blogs are excellent as yours.

Hello,I really find this blog very informative. I completed my BDS in 2009. I have a work experience of over 2 years. I plan to shift to The US next month.I intend to take the NBDE by the end of the year or early next year.Do the admissions happen just once a year during the fall in the univ at the US? Is it true that there will be no part 1 and 2 from now on?
ReplyDeleteWhat is better ? To give toefl in India or in USA/ Does it have any effect in score?
