Dental Admission Test (DAT)

Applicants for admission to the School of Dentistry must take the American Dental Association Dental Admission Test (DAT). The test may be scheduled to be taken by computer at individually arranged times at Sylvan Testing Centers. Information regarding the American Dental Association Dental Admission Test may be obtained from the predental adviser in most colleges. Information and application forms also may be secured from the Division of Educational Measurements, American Dental Association, 211 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60611, or from the Office of Student Affairs at the School of Dentistry, or by going to: www.ada.org/prof/ed/testing. By following a well planned schedule, the pre-dental student should be ready to take the test at the end of the second full year of college work. It is strongly recommended that this test be taken in the spring, but no later than in the fall of the year preceding the desired date of admission. DAT scores more than three years old are not acceptable. Candidates seeking to re-take the DAT must wait 90 days before a re-test is allowed.
