D.M.D./Ph.D. Program Admissions Process

Our process requires that the applicant be accepted sequentially by the SDM Admissions Committee for entry into the pre-doctoral D.M.D. program, the Graduate School and, then, the DSTP Advisory Committee. Each member of the Advisory Committee has the opportunity to screen the completed applications and the committee collectively determines who shall be interviewed.

Those invited are interviewed by members of the Advisory Committee generally at the time they are interviewed by the SDM Admissions Committee.

The Committee then meets to discuss the evaluations and by majority vote of a quorum (2/3 of membership present) determines who shall be accepted and appointed to the Dental Scientist Training Program, if there are multiple candidates for the DSTP positions.
