So this school caught my eye, but I have no clue if its worth applying to. I am a Utah resident which is where the school campus is based out of. However the rumor going around is that the school won't have accreditation. I am unfamiliar with this and would love more wisdom??. It seems pointless for millions of dollars to be invested in a school, and then not have accreditation.

Hello,

I don't have an opinion regarding whether or not the school is worth applying to, but I just wanted to let you know that schools do not receive final accreditation until they have graduated their first class of dentists. There are excellent programs out there (like Midwestern and Western University) that aren't fully accredited yet, but they are still really good programs.
If you have over a 3.5 and a 20 on the DAT, I wouldn't apply to the school. But if you're worried about how your stats will measure up at other schools, then definitely consider applying to the school.

Just some food for thought.
