ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS TO DENTAL COLLEGE

Acceptance to the dental program is based on the grade point aver­ages DAT scores (Dental Admission Test), letters of recommendation, and personal interview. Each applicant's record is evaluated for quality and achievement.

Predental studies include a minimum of 60 semester hours credit at an accredited college or University. Applicants must have a cumulative grade point average of at least a "C" and have earned a grade of at least a "C" in each of the required course areas. Since admission is competitive, applicants should significantly exceed the minimum academic perfor­mance requirements. The following courses are required within the pre­dental course work:

English 6 semester hours

Biological Science with laboratory .... 8 semester hours Inorganic Chemistry with laboratory ... 8 semester hours Organic Chemistry with laboratory .... 8 semester hours Physics with laboratory 8 semester hours

In addition to the required courses, it is recommended that applicants choose elective courses complementing the dental curriculum. The dental profession requires an understanding of areas such as psychology, sociol­ogy, and economics. The individual student should select additional cours­es on the basis of interest and personal enrichment. All applicants are required to take the American Dental Association Dental Admission Test (DAT), with results forwarded to the College of Dentistry. The DAT is given in April and October of each year. Applicants should take the exam no later than October of the year preceding the year of desired entry. American Dental Association policy allows applicants to participate in the Dental Admission Testing Program an unlimited number times. However, only scores from the four most recent attempts and the total number of attempts will be recorded.

The following materials should b e transmitted directly to the college:

2. 1. Letter(s) of recommendation from a professional advisory commit­tee or two science instructors."Official" transript(s) sent directly to the college by the issuing office(s) of each post-secondary institution you have attended.

3. DAT transript.

4. Application fee in the amount of 25 dollars.

A personal interview is mandatory. Interviews begin October 1 of the year prior to the year of entry and around mid - March of the year of entry. Candidates are interviewed individually by two members of the Admissions Committee. The purpose of the interview is to determine the applicants knowledge of the dental profession, motivation, and maturity.

Therefore, it is recommended that applicants familiarize themselves with the profession by (1) observing and/or assisting at least one dentist during a "typical" day, (2) discussing the profession with several practic­ing dentists, and (3) visiting a dental school and discussing with faculty, students, and staff the profession and the commitment necessary to suc­ceed as a dental student. 50-60 applicants are usually selected each year.
