Does anybody know how many students in total get accepted to dental schools each year? (U.S. only)

I believe that far more than 12,000 people apply to dental school each year. The university of Maryland itself has over 2,000 applicants a year. Acceptance into a dental program is closer to 5-10% of the applicant pool rather than 30%.

i estimate ~5% of total applicants get into d-school. about 10% of applicants get an interview, and about half of those interviewed get accepted.

yea i think its like 4400 or something out of around 12000 applicants, so it's about 37%. those are the stats i've always seen anyway. it's more competitive than medical even. well good luck everybody!
I was wondering how long until doc toothache made an appearance in this thread. He is the king of cold hard dental numbers. Thanks.
It's closer to 30% I believe. 12,000 Applicants, probably 120,000 Applications, since on average I think that people apply to about 10 schools each. It's not far more than that, since that is what the ADEA reports... The 2000 Applicants at UM seems large until you realize that most people apply to multiple schools, and to not get the numbers for number of applicants and number of applications mixed up, since there are obviously way more applications floating around than there are applicants.
Yeah, I guess you guys are right. I was only thinking about the admission chances to individual schools, not considering that students apply to multiple schools and enhance their chance of acceptance.
