Early Decision

I was just wondering if any dental schools have some sort of early decision plan like undergrad/med schools? Thanks 🙂

Actually, there are several dental schools that I personally know of participating in a dual 7-year dental program. The first three years are completed at the undergraduate school and the 4th through 7th year is completed at the dental school. Upon successful completion of the 4th year, the student is awarded their bachelor's degree.

The following dental schools (that I know of, but there are many more) have this dual 7-year program:
New York University (Affiliated with Wagner, Manhattan College, NYU, etc.)
University at Buffalo
Boston University
University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey ( Affiliated with Rutgers, Fairleigh Dickinson, NJIT, etc.)

Oops I should've made my question more clear. What I meant was...are there any dental schools where you can apply early in the summer and they'll accept you early..like October 1st rather than Dec 1st?

Thanks!

I am almost 100% sure that there are no dental schools, at least in the US, that have that type of early decision program.

Anyone know something I don't?

They make you bleed until 12/1.

I know BU sent acceptance letters for some of their '05 cycle applicants before 12/1 but towards late November, which isn't much comfort.

look up the thread, "Official Acceptance Thread" and you will see that a bunch of us got accepted on December 1st. There is no way around this. The thread will also give you look into how many got accepted and at what time.
