ryan1580 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Anybody know if American schools are biased for American DAT? Even though they officially state they accept the Canadian DAT, will they?? Am I at a strong disadvantage? Do they look at carving?? 21 AA, 18 RC, 17 PAT or something.

dchung42 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I highly think that there is some sorta disadvantage for Canadian DAT over American DAT My friend and I have identical scores/GPA and submitted at exact(alsmot) same time (I did earlier. I had Canadian DAT and I got my interview way later/didn't for some schools. Could be my EC but really they were almost comparable. I think they access American DAT electronically and Canadian DAT with paper For example. NYU kept on emailing/mailing me that I didn't have my Canadian DAT ready when they confirmed that they have it at first and back and forth wut the hell. anyways I got the interview at the end but ended up not going to the interview.

microserf Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Never going to happen thats just a rumour that you don't need an interview. You will always be interviewed for a US dental school. From what I understand, officially they don't look at the carving score, but your interviewer might comment on it during the interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he was saying was someone got into NYU and the person din't get any interviews in CANADA Of course you will always need an interview before admissions. But from SDN sources, you may not need one for Creighton if you did your undergrad there. Anyways. See you soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan1580 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Hey dchung, quick question: I read somewhere that NYU has a mandatory 100 hours of shadowing... but it looks like this might have been removed from their website. Did you have job shadowing hours? if so, how many? if not - good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
