Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental Studies

Admission to schools of medicine or dentistry involves satisfactorily fulfilling prerequisite course work, obtaining a sufficiently high score on the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) or Dental Admission Test (DAT), submitting completed applications, and having a successful interview. The allied health advisor in the Department of Biological Sciences advises students in all areas of the application process and maintains MCAT and DAT study materials through the Reserve Desk in the University Library. A committee of three faculty members interviews pre-medical students (and pre-dental students on request), writes a letter of evaluation, and provides guidance to students in the interview process. A video recording of the interview is reviewed by the student with the allied health advisor to better prepare the student for formal interviews elsewhere.

Students with interests in either the M.D., D.D.S., or D.M.D. degree are urged to contact Professor Ingermann, Gibb 237, as early as possible.

NOTE: Pre-medical and pre-dental students are strongly encouraged to take Chem 277/278.
