As I prepare for application on June 1st, I was wondering if anyone has knowledge on which schools are not opposed to accepting highly qualified students after 3 years of undergrad. I have done a lot of research on this topic, but this statistic is often difficult to find. I consider myself a very competitive applicant (Overall GPA 3.97, science GPA 4.0, and have already taken 12+ hours of upper level biology courses). I have done neurobiology research, and have spent 150+ hours shadowing in many dental specialties as well as general dentistry, and have good LORS. I understand that the number of 3rd year acceptances is minuscule at best, however if anyone has knowledge of schools that have historically accepted some 3rd year students I would appreciate the information. Best of luck to all who await June 1st.

You must not have been looking in the right places. The info is available in the 2009 ADEA Official Guide to DS.

I had hoped for valuable information that was FREE, however I took your advice and made the $43 purchase, Thanks.

-also, the 2006 stats were helpful, however it seems dental school admissions trends are so increasingly competitive, I was hoping for something a little more current to base my upcoming applications on. Thus I purchased the ADEA guidebook

There are always going to be a few enfant terribles that will be accepted to ds.
