has detailed instructions for applicants. TOEFL scores
are required for all foreign applicants. GRE scores are
not required but are highly recommended for applicants
who have been out of an academic environment for more
than 5 years, for graduates of foreign dental schools,
and for graduates of dental schools that do not report
class standing. In addition to the required PASS
application, LSU requires that applicants send a $30.00
application fee and a passport-type photograph directly
to LSU.
The application deadline is September 1.
Invitations for a personal interview during September
are extended to those candidates who are most seriously
being considered. Previous research experience,
especially in endodontics, will strengthen the
candidate's application. Practice experience beyond
dental school such as private practice, military
practice, general dentistry residency, etc., will also
strengthen the applicant's credentials.
Candidates are selected and recommended
for acceptance into the program by the endodontic
faculty, but must be approved by the Advanced Education
Committee and by the Dean of the School of Dentistry.
Upon notification of acceptance, an acceptance deposit
is required. This deposit is credited toward payment of
fees.
