D.5 VCU program

[melmu001]

If you applied to dental school but not offered an interview, do the committee put you in the D.5 program right away?

The D.5 program is offered to applicants who have interviewed at VCU. The admission committee selects applicants, based on that applicant's individual situation, that they believe will benefit from the 5 year program over the 4 year one. The program is small, with only around 10 spots I believe.

So do you have to be interviewed first before being put to the D.5 program?

The director of admissions and the admissions committee select a very limited number of D.5 candidates from the pool of interviewed applicants.

does anyone know if the D5 program is mainly for in-state students or out-of-state students?

I think it's for both, when I spoke with admin reps.

EDIT: but of course they might accept more from VA.
