Most dental schools now
urge students to prepare for admission with the broadest possible curriculum.
The entrance requirements for dental schools, as recommended by the American
Dental Association, are identical to those listed for medical schools. The
Dental Admission Test (DAT) is normally taken in the spring semester of the
junior year and application to dental schools made in the summer between the
junior and senior years. Early in their undergraduate careers, interested
students should ascertain specific admission requirements of schools to which
they may apply. Students interested in dentistry are urged to consult with the
adviser for the pre-health program
For more information on pre-dentistry as well as
