Eligibility<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The international equivalent of the DMD dental degree is a prerequisite\u00a0<\/strong>for consideration for admission to the DMD Advanced Standing Program for applicants whose dental degrees were conferred from accredited institutions outside the United States. An applicant must have earned the dental degree and hold a final diploma prior to applying to the Boston University program. Provisional degrees and certificates are not sufficient.\u00a0In addition, a passing result on the U.S. Integrated National Board Dental Examination (INDBE) or NBDE Parts 1 and 2 are required\u00a0<\/strong>for consideration for admission: see details below regarding the\u00a0NBDE1\/ADAT application requirement transition.<\/p>\n

Citizenship<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Applicants to the DMD Advanced Standing Program at the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine may be foreign nationals, United States citizens, or hold United States Lawful Permanent Resident status.\u00a0 <\/span>Matriculation requires compliance with Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) regulations as determined by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Boston University\u00a0International Students and Scholars Office<\/a>\u00a0(ISSO) website has detailed information.<\/p>\n

Admissions Factors<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Admissions Committee takes into account the applicant\u2019s academic preparation, grades and marks, passage of the INDBE or NBDE Parts 1 and 2 and English language proficiency as demonstrated by the TOEFL iBT<\/span>. Clinical experience is strongly considered, along with research and teaching experience, advanced dental education, and motivation for the study of dentistry. Letters of evaluation are important elements in the Admissions Committee assessment.\u00a0\u00a0The Committee invites selected applicants to interview; an interview is required for admission, but does not guarantee acceptance.<\/p>\n
