Conversations With Dental Schools & Experts
If you want to hear how admissions people actually think, binge these.
Dental school admissions are scored, not ‘vibed.’
In this clip, University of Washington admissions leader Sue Coldwell explains that:
Every application is independently scored by two committee members
Each interview is rated by seven different faculty using a clear rubric
Admissions is not random. It is scored.
At Dental School Guide, we specialize in decoding these hidden scoring systems for each dental school, so you can:
Understand what is actually being scored
Emphasize the content that moves your score up
Avoid wasting effort on things committees do not weight highly
Insights into what schools weigh the most on their specific scoring rubric.
Dental School Guide helps pre-dental students
1) choose schools whose scoring rubrics already favor their application, and
2) tailor their application to what each school actually weighs most (and what they mostly ignore)
…so they can focus effort where it actually moves their score.
This applies to every part of the application, not just specific DAT sections.
How admissions actually pick who gets in.
Dr. Ali Shazib, Dean at High Point University, explains how their process is blinded and ranking-based.
Just about every dental school uses a scoring system to rank applicants. That’s where Dental School Guide comes in. It gives you inside knowledge on how each school evaluates applications so you can maximize your chances of getting into your dream school.
