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 prehealth program at 973-353-5705.
