I am slightly confused by the admission requirements of some schools. For example, NYU dental's site says...
All students applying to the New York University College of Dentistry must meet the minimum requirements as follows:
A bachelor's degree from an accredited U.S. or Canadian college or university, including all prerequisite courses. Consideration will be given to students with at least a GPA of 3.5 who have completed 90 credits (including all prerequisite courses) at an accredited college or university.
1. Does this mean that you must have at least 90 credits prior to applying?
2. If not, are they just saying that you are planning on completing at least 90 prior to entering dental school? Therefore, if I am applying with 85 credits now, they will still consider me for admission given that I will have a bachelors with at least 90 credits before entering dental?
