- Hello guys! I had my interview with BU for the advanced standing program for international dentists. I thought I should share how it went and what I got asked, so you can prepare for your upcoming interviews. Good luck!
Very cool, may I ask where you are originally from? Germany?
Hey thank you for watching :) Yes I'm from Germany!
@@DrReginaB May I ask why you stopped your dental practice in Germany and moved to America? Were the job opportunities in Germany poor? Thanks.
hi! congrats!!! bu is one of my firsts options too, would you be kind enough to share what your stats were to be accepted ? GPA, toefl score and so on? also when did you apply ?
thanks in advance
Thank you!! My toefl score was 114 (anything over 100 is good enough for them). They don't really care much about GPA. If you have great experiences here in the US, good recommendation letters and SOP then you'll get an interview. Apply as soon as possible! I applied on the first few days of the application cycle, then was one of the first to get interviewed and accepted. Good luck you'll make it too!!
Did you get accepted? If you would like to share that information please
Yes I did get accepted! 😊
Congratulations! How long did they take to tell you that you got selected post the interview?
Thank you! :) it took them about 3 weeks
Hi, congratulations! My toefl score is 99, but I have US dental assiting experience, great GPA, good recommendation letters. I applied the 3rd week of March and haven’t heard from them. Do you think my toefl score is too low? Thanks!
Hi! Thanks for watching :) 99 isn't that bad. They look at applicants in a holistic way so it can't only be the TOEFL score. It depends on how much experience you have gained here, how compelling your statement of purpose is and they also care if you're located here in the United States. I believe they are accepting fewer students from outside the country now. But don't give up and keep working on your application. Many students have to apply a couple years in a row until they get accepted. It's a difficult process but it's worth it!
