This is a firm deadline. All qualified applicants will be contacted by letter after February 1 to arrange an interview in March. Interviews are mandatory for Indiana residents. The large number of applicants to the program makes the admission procedure highly competitive. Factors taken into consideration by the Admissions Committee include the applicant's high school rank, SAT or ACT scores, college grade point average, exposure to the dental hygiene profession, and the personal interview.
Preference is given to Indiana residents.
Decisions concerning applicants are made in March and letters notifying applicants of their status are mailed in April. At that time, applicants that are accepted are granted a provisional acceptance. Final acceptance is not granted until applicant has successfully completed all required courses. In addition to the dental hygiene program offered in Indianapolis, there are dental hygiene programs at four other sites in Indiana. Students are encouraged to apply to all five programs to enhance their chances of being accepted.
