hello everyone, I'm a 2nd year at UMDNJ. Firstly, congratulations on your acceptance. A Facebook group was created for people thinking of attending the school. There are already members on the group from each year of our school so if you have any specific questions, you can ask us directly...

UMDNJ's masters program accepts DAT scores as a supplement to the GRE. Not sure about the rest

are you referring to applying for this current cycle with that GPA or next year's cycle? If you're referring to this current cycle and you still haven't heard anything from any schools, it might be too late as most spots have already been filled. I had similar undergrad gpa and similar post-bacc...

There's no real benefit to finishing in a year. Take the extra semester and take that hard class. That's what I did with Dental Physio. Admissions was like why are you taking this class since you'll be mid application during the course and I told them I wanted to challenge myself. To show not...

:thumbup: I did the same masters program and i'll be attending njds in the fall. My undergrad was 3.0 (with a much lower science gpa haha) 3.9 in Masters. 3 interviews - 1 acceptance, canceled my other interviews Point being, you should give consideration to the special masters program. It's...

there's only about 35 students on the facebook group so if you go by that, there are still plenty of seats :P Even if 75 people paid the 1st deposit, I doubt all of those people are 100% set on going to UMDNJ. They probably just couldn't decide and have this set as backup. Unfortunately, as...

someone on the umdnj 2015 facebook group posted on January 8th saying he had his interview the day before and that he got a call the very next day with an acceptance. I know nothing about his stats but I'm assuming if he got an acceptance the day after his interview, they must've been good haha.

Relax guys. It's not moving anywhere. At least anytime soon. They have built brand new clinics and classrooms at the newark site. They're not gonna blow that away to move over to Camden. I highly doubt this would affect our class

In dental school, there's very little focus on immunology. It's a very short class. Biochem is a much larger course spanning quite a bit of material. So if you were to judge based solely on the amount of material, Biochem is harder. That being said, I found immuno to be harder than Biochem...

It's a city area so you'll never have to worry about having enough patients to practice on. You can get state tuition after your first year. As for the clinic area, the pre-clinic area is okaaaay. It's an old room that they converted into pre-clinic area. Nothing great. The clinic area is...

Lol how dare you consider resting! :P As for the OP's question, what is your GPA if you don't mind me asking. Depending on that, we can better advise you on whether to take a year off or to jump straight into the masters program. One thing you might want to keep in mind about masters program is...

I have had the chance to take Dental Physio, Dental Biochem and Oral Immuno while finishing the masters program. Out of all 3, I'd say that dental physio is the hardest course but I hated Immuno the most. I'll give a breakdown of what to expect for each class and my thoughts on each one...

Homer are you an international student? I've heard conflicting information that umdnj didn't take international students. Either way, congratulations!

I will 99.9% likely be attending umdnj in the fall. I still have an interview at NOVA in January but I think it's a pretty safe bet that umdnj will be my home for another 4 years.

what's up possible future classmates of mine!? :D
