I am so proud of Tyler15. Finally someone spoke up!! doctors need some kind of interpersonal skills and most importantly some patience.

Dr. Tsiagbe is one of the advisors for GSBS and teaches Oral Immunology (I think). I heard his class isn't that great and as an advisor, he's nice and maybe too optimistic??? Every time I told him my stats , he would be like "you'll definitely get into NJDS", but got waitlisted. I do know that someone who got an LOR from him and got into NJDS couple of years back.THANK YOU! I am not in any of those courses this semester so I guess I can't approach the specific professors you mentioned. Do you know anything about Dr.Tsiagbe? It's my first semester and I want to apply this june. Just worried about LOR hopefully it all works out though. Anyone here applied to dental schools after one semester and been accepted and which schools?
They also need reading comprehension and analytical skills....
Your continued lack of comprehension continues to prove my point - i'll take my feedback from attendings as opposed to you and Tyler who have made such "meaningful" contributions to the forum (Tyler's excellent thread here - http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=957309). Anyways, i'll stop engaging you two *****s on this personal bickering.Of course they do. But its obvious that you lack some of the important ones!!
Talk about arrogance.....

Someone recommended working with Dr. Pinhal-Enfield - I second that. She is among the nicest people at the Newark campus. Can't speak to research interactions with her, but an excellent teacher and very easy to get along with
Hey Flanker, I am not going to psycho analyze you and try to figure out if the other kids bullied you when you were growing up; or perhaps you did not get enough love as a kid. I am certainly not going to get into a war of words with you in a public forum. The point is this: People are applying to medical school. You do some good things in providing helpful information. However, to use the tone; the belligerence; and childish words like "*****s", when you are a medical student, is beyond comprehension. Take this as you will. I will not respond to any negative thing you choose to say. Just think about it. It may benefit you in other aspects of your life.Your continued lack of comprehension continues to prove my point - i'll take my feedback from attendings as opposed to you and Tyler who have made such "meaningful" contributions to the forum (Tyler's excellent thread here - http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=957309).

I think you should be fine. good luckHey everyone
I'm going to be applying to this program for Fall '13. I have a 3.3 cGPA, 2.8 sGPA, and 32Q MCAT. How do you think I will fare for the MBS program?

I believe that NJDS want to see at least two semesters of GSBS but it seems like you don't want to live in NJ (don't blame you). I know people who got into Tufts and NYU when they applied in the middle of their fall semester. I don't know how they did in undergrad/DAT though...
Thanks Chada! Did you get into a dental school after GSBS program?
Not 50+. Med school class is only 170-180, a third from the gsbs is a bit much. I think the number is more like 10-15 per year.I'm very grateful for WUBear's extremely helpful and detailed posts throughout these boards. I've heard a lot of good things about this program. Small classes, professors who will write you letters, and people getting in without a glide year. I hear that if you apply they look at your MGM grade etc. and then consider you.
However, I looked at their site and I don't see information on success rate. It seems to me like this program is very customizable and so it is hard to get a correlation. I am curious to know if this program has a success rate like RFU BMS where 50+ students are fed into the medical school same year. I'm doing this to check that I did not miss out on any SMPs worth applying to. Success rate is all that I care about because that's the bottom line. I probably won't get a concrete response to this but it's food for thought.
Hi - I just got accepted into the Dental Scholars Program. Do you know what they look for GPA/DAT for acceptance to NJDS? Does the dental school required a high PAT score? Which sections does the dental school focus more? How hard is it to maintain a high GPA in the program? Is it competitive or collaborative amongst the students?
I will be out of state, I appreciate your response!

I doubt it personally.... GPA is very on the low side, and you are Canadian - which doesn't help.Hey all! I'm submitting my application tomorrow.
I'm Canadian, and concerned I'm a little too late. I have a 2.75 cGPA and 20 American DAT score that I wrote in February.
Will I get in?

A lot of the SMPs are biased to US-citizens or permanent residents as many Med/Dent schools don't take non-US citizens.
Hello,Hey Guys, haven't been here for awhile, but I am currently in the UMDNJ MBS GSBS program in Newark, just started 2nd semester in Jan. Since I got a lot of help from previous people last year, I thought I'd do the same and try to help anyone thinking of going here next year. So feel free to ask questions and I'll do my best to answer them for you!
I have this same concern and got the same email about a confirmation notice to be sent, but that was May 14. I've emailed them several times since then and still no response.Has anyone heard back from UMDNJ Newark GSBS program since early April?
My application were sent in mid March, and I haven't heard anything back. I email them and got an answer saying I will receive an email with confirming my apps are complete but I still haven't heard back.
Is it possible that the classes are full already?
I really really want to go here...
