The Admissions Committee meets in December to choose 40 students from the interviewed 80 applicants for acceptance to the first year DMD class. The Committee considers Overall GPA, DAT scores, letters of reference, personal essay and interview scores when making this decision. Applicants will be notified in December of the results of the Committee's deliberations. Top of page Acceptance Successful applicants must submit a certificate from a licensed dentist attesting to the applicant's condition of oral health to the Faculty. Being a carrier of one of the above conditions may restrict both your educational opportunity to attain competency for graduation and your ability to practice as a dentist.
Counselling is available to individuals who have or are carriers of communicable diseases.
Disability may result from practicing dentistry and may be more likely in students whose skills need to be developed. Included are exposure to infectious diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and even the possibility of physical assault. Injury during the time of training may preclude a student from continuing through and practicing Dentistry. While the Faculty of Dentistry makes efforts to minimize such risks, it does not provide any insurance to protect students from loss of future income. We strongly recommend that students purchase disability insurance while they are students and continue coverage during postgraduate training and practice.
