Higher Studies


Do I need to get a masters in order to apply for an advanced standing DDS/DMD Program?
  • No
  • But it can really strengthen your profile
What are the pros and cons of doing a masters?​
  • Pros- USA GPA, chance to make connections in the US academic world, allows you to adapt to the US academic system
  • Cons- USA GPA (if you screw up), cost, time
Which masters program should I apply to?
  • In my opinion, I don't think it matters much which course you select
  • Most people I've seen apply to MPH programs prior to DMD/DDS
How do I apply for a masters program?
  • You will first have to take the GRE or GMAT
  • Refer individual school websites for further information
