I'm from a smaller city in Canada. We have a DMD program at the bigger university we have here.
The core gpa for OOP is 3.8 with a DAT score of about 23. I'm IP, so it's a bit less (3.5-3.6 gpa, about 19 on DAT minimum). I was looking at stats from previous years online and the gpa from some years back was 3.3-3.4 gpa.
I spoke to a dentist at a symposium recently and they said they had a 3.1 gpa and got accepted. I was surprised they got an interview with that but I realized that they went to dental school probably 10 or so years ago.
Why do you think it's gotten more competitive over the years?
