I got sexually assaulted at my university, I am currently in my masters program and I just don't feel safe being in campus after it happened. I applied to dental schools and got interviews I just don't know what to say or how to approach the situation because I just don't feel safe being on campus or walking around at night, I still haven't spoken to anyone about what happened to me because I'm just really scared. When I did they interview with the dental schools they said that it is a requirement that I have to finish my masters its just been really hard for me.

sorry to hear about that
no one here knows the answer
you would have to speak to the schools you interviewed at...

Your university should have a Title IX office and/or a counseling center/crisis line where you can get support and help. I urge you to consider getting a Leave of Absence; work with your program director.

This is something you should mention to the Admissions DIrector, Admissions Dean, or Adcom Chair. This is a situation where if you got accepted, they would need documentation that could justify giving you a deferral (no guarantees).
