LOW GPA less than 3 in your CAAPID Application?

___________
Hi! This is Karthik and Nourah, founders of CAAPID SIMPLIFIED. We started this channel to guide foreign-trained dentist secure US Dental admissions through CAAPID and ADEA-PASS. We share the strategies through webinars and short-videos that helped Dr. Nourah secure 10 interview invites as a fresh BDS graduate. Whether it is CU Dental, BU Dental or even the rare and niche UNC Chapel Hill, we have the experience of being there and seeing what works. From time to time we help dental applicants through 1-on-1 sessions further validating our strategies to crack dental school.
We started a non-profit CSR initiative called Inner-Circle to simultaneously make dental admissions inexpensive by reducing the dependence on middle-men and standardizing strategies that help crack admissions. Please join the non-profit innercircle.caapidsimplified.com and leverage its full benefit to save money and time before you seek professional help. While we can't replace the human touch and personal expertise only a counselor can offer, we have done our best to productize the first level work that goes into applications such as NBDE Exam, TOEFL Exam, Caapid Application, SOP writing, preparing for dental interviews and bench tests.

A big thank you for all the informative videos. I have a question regarding the GPA schools look at. Do they look at the Grade Average or the Comprehensive Grade Average? My evaluation report contain these two types of GPAs so would like a clarification. Thank you!!

[@CaapidSimplified]

Thank you for your kind words, James. Majority of the schools consider comprehensive grade average for DDS/DMD admissions.

Hi!! Thanks for your video. I m an mds can u tell me how to get into speciality of ortho and also i am considering dds as 2 nd option as getting into orthodontics in US is quite tuff.so for ECE evaluation how am i suppose to apply like .. is it course by course and send both bds n mds certificates once or is it something different. And will that effect my gpa score as my mds has low marks? Can you please clarify??

[@CaapidSimplified]

Hi DY. Please watch our video on How to apply for INBDE. We have explained the step by step process of applying an ECE report too. The same will apply for you. ECE will give you a cumulative GPA so don't be disheartened, it should be better than you think it will be. Good luck!

@@CaapidSimplified thank you so much.u ppl are so fast in replying. Can i use the same gpa to apply for both dds n any ortho specality ??

So how exactly does one find their masters program in the US?? Is there a way of getting a loan for it or it just needs to be self funded

[@CaapidSimplified]

Good question, Moses. We will post a video soon with the choices for Masters and loan.

[@kangwa9406]

Thank you so much,the video will be highly appreciated.

hi, thank you for providing us such useful videos, I am foreign trained dentist and did my BDS in India I passed both nbde parts with second attempt and will apply in march for US dental colleges, will it effect my caapid application, I have heard that with two attempts, chances of acceptance is low in US, can u guide me how I can make my application strong? Thank you!!

[@CaapidSimplified]

Sure Kamal. An application is a sum of its many parts. Where you lack on one, you make up in another. Please give us a call and we’ll be more than happy to help you out

[@ashwinibhangale3640]

Clearly insightful. What are the options for masters apart from MPH/MHA? P.s: I enjoyed the mimicry as well haha

[@CaapidSimplified]

Any MS program can provide a lift. These don’t necessarily have to be related to healthcare but are in the realm of biomedical sciences

[@amanrahul11]

Good job u guys are doing. But 1 more topic requires attention. There are lot many dentists in 3rd world countries who have spent good 5 to 7 years of their life post bds in other professions. This is a sheer long gap . Do they stand any chance of getting admission in dds . How will they justify this long professional garb of being non dentist for 7-8 long years

[@CaapidSimplified]

Great point Amaninder! And in fact more than half the people we support are above the age of 35. Their chances of getting into a DDS program aren't higher or lower than applicants with relatively lower experience. Happy to share more over call if you ping us at [e-mail]

[@user-lg9wd3eq3m]

what universities accept 2.75 gpa? to show the other points?

[@FemLove-j9v]

Is 3.4 a good gpa

[@taufiqur4329]

Ma'am is MS in Clinical Research an option..or do we need a DDS degree for that as well?

[@CaapidSimplified]

You wouldn't require a DDS degree to qualify applying to a MS in Clinical Research. Just take your GRE, TOEFL and apply with your undergraduate science degree

[@elizabetheldho8884]

Does Mds and the research down during thesis and library dissertation count ?

[@CaapidSimplified]

Yes ofcourse, Doctor!

[@elizabetheldho8884]

[@elizabetheldho8884]

Will the colleges we apply , get our scores in inbde exam we clear?

[@CaapidSimplified]

No, just the result of whether you have passed or failed the exam!
