Tufts students with those stats have a very good chance of getting in if they do a masters. Tufts actually prefers older nontraditional students from the south more than anything else. Black and white students from the south, latino students from Florida, white students from the midwest, Indian & south asian students, persian students favored. northeast white people are usually legacies, if they are not tufts legacy they get no preference. admission is much more difficult if you are East Asian or white from a coastal area (exceptions for southern and midwestern whites). Race plays a much bigger role than it should at tusdm (the admissions dean & director are racist).
Notice that they don't list any stats on gpa or dat scores... (strong downward trend year after year so they stopped publishing them altogether and focus only on race so they can pat themselves on the back and say job well done on diversity). class size (and tuition) also increase every year without fail
Official D24 Stats (the fricking dean published this as is even with the typos & missing numbers)
- The D24 Class size 211 (female students-133, male students-78).
- The PDND Class size is 13 (female-8, male-5).
- There are 18 students that have Tufts family ties.
- Students are Asian(32%), 40 are Black/African American (19%), 27are Hispanic/Latinx-(13%) and 77 are white (36%).
The D24s are from all over the USA:
- 17% New England
- 11% Mid- Atlantic
- 14% Midwest
- 32% South
- 13% West Coast
- 6% Southwest
- 1.4% Mountain
Our Feeder Schools are (more than 5 students):
- Barry University - 32
- Tufts University - 13
- Mississippi College -7
- Boston University- 11
- Rutgers University - 8
- IUPUI - 6
- Tulane - 6
- University of South FL - 8
Both the dean of admissions and director of admissions used to work at IUSD in Indiana. They are clearly biased in favor of Indiana students. Florida is by far the biggest feeder state (more students come from Florida than from the whole northeast region) also the pdnd class size was supposed to be 20, not 13 (which tells you that they had trouble filling the pdnd class because it's a scam to get more money from students). and both the white and asian student numbers are misleading. south asians are counted as asian, and the number of east asian students at tufts is deceptively low (they hate asian students). Persians (Iranians) and middle eastern students are counted as white
TuFtS aDmiSsiOn fOrMuLa: Florida + minority + masters degree (Barry) + age over 30 + (TUSDM legacy or did undergrad at IUPUI or Tufts) = admissions odds over 1000%
you could have 2.7gpa and dat score of 16 and still get in if you fit into that formula. bible
TLDR: none of the boston area dental schools prefer east coast/ boston area students. they all want students from other states outside of mass
