They're a private institution that was founded by the SDA church. They can set a standard for whoever they want to accept. They also have some lifestyle requirements that isn't for everyone. There are plenty of other dental schools out there you can apply to if you don't agree with them.

If you feel this strongly about Loma Linda, how do you feel about Howard and Meharry?

But let's not go there.
