Anyone heard updates on Midwestern opening a dental school in Illinois? I know it is an option to send DAT scores there, but does that mean they are 100% opening a dental school for fall 2011? Are they accredited?

Yes, yes, and yes. You can find the info on the ADEA website and eventually MWU website. There is no need to advertise it anymore than necessary.
I just looked on Adea and googled it and there was nothingI have been keeping my eyes open for a about a year. I hear that Midwestern in AZ is awesome so I hope that Midwestern in Chicago is just as amazing.
Awesome!! Thank you so much for the info!!! I have been watching this school and Chicago could really benefit from another dental school.
"Midwestern University plans to open a dental college in Downers Grove which officials say could help bring much-needed dental care to the underserved, including rural communities and poor neighborhoods.
The school won't open for a couple of years, but already interest is high, said Dennis Paulson, vice president and chief academic officer of dental and medical education at Midwestern.
"I get calls all of the time from applicants who've heard about it through word-of-mouth," Paulson said. "I tell them, ‘Fall of 2011. Don't call back until then.' "
Paulson said the university is seeking approval from the Illinois Board of Higher Education, then the Commission on Dental Accreditation. The school would admit 125 students per class."
I don't think applications for MWU will be opening this summer
If it was ready to accept applications this summer, then their website would have applicant information and their buildings would be complete for interviews.
So expect their first application pool Summer 2011 and the class to enter 2012.
Does anyone know if the school has hired a full staff yet?
If not where can you apply....
I am a supervising dentist interested in becoming one of the instructors![]()
