Admission Requirements
General Notes
- Admission to Dentistry is based on academic ability and personal qualities, as evidenced by scholastic records, aptitude tests and an interview. Because facilities for pre-clinical and clinical instruction are limited, it is necessary to restrict enrolment to applicants who are best qualified to meet the mental and physical demands of the curriculum and most likely to successfully complete the full course of study. The presentation of the minimum admission requirements will not assure acceptance.
===Criteria===
- Applicants require:
- one half laboratory course in Organic Chemistry
- at least one half-course in Biochemistry
- one full course (or equivalent) in Human or Mammalian Physiology
- It is to their advantage to have successfully completed one full laboratory course in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics

- First year applicants who have completed professional courses or who are enrolled in courses preparing them for professional vocations other than dentistry must submit with their application a letter giving the appropriate reasons for their desire to enter Dentistry.
- Please note, reference letters and personal statements are not officially requested in the application process. Applicants may send the information to the Admissions Committee with their applications. There is, however,no guarantee that the information provided will have an effect on the entrance decision.
- NOTE: Primary consideration will be given to the best two academic years and the DAT scores. However, overall academic performance (consistency, trend), undergraduate degree, and graduate education will also be used as selection criteria.
