Do I need to graduate to apply to D-school?

harkkam · Mar 20, 2008

Is it a requirement to graduate undergrad before I submit an application to d-school?

right now I am a undergrad senior. I have one more year of science courses left to take. So I graduate in Spring 2009. And I will be applying for D-school in fall 2009 for fall 2010.

I was wondering that If happen to still be taking classes by fall 2009 by the time I apply to dental school would that be held agaisnt me in the application process.

-most schools need a degree before matriculation. however, there are some that do not. check the school's website for details.
-you need to have all pre requisites completed before you ENTER dental school, not before you APPLY. it's a good idea to have most of them done before applying, though.

you can actually apply now (this cycle starting may 15th) and get in fall 2009 as long as you finished all those science courses before you enter dental school. why waste a year doing nothing unless you want to take a 1 year break from school. its up to you.

i think i have answered this once but i cant seem to find the thread.

i think the most "common" or "on-track" is to apply may 15th of your junior year. summer going into your senior year you fill out secondaries. senior year you go to interviews and wait for acceptance. graduate spring of senior year. go into dental school after that summer.

you misunderstood his question
and you dont need to finish your bachelors before you apply
you shouyld apply 1 month before the summer before your last year in undergrad if that makes sense....
