For admission into dentistry school, you must first take the Dental Admissions Test,
(DAT). The
DAT is now computerized; so, it is offered every day of the year. It is a
5-hour affair encompassing 4 sections and is scored on a scale from 1 to 30.
There is a 90-minute Natural Science section that includes biology, general
chemistry, and organic chemistry. The other sections include
Perceptual Ability (60 minutes), Reading Comprehension (60 minutes), and
Quantitative Reasoning (45 minutes).
After succeeding on the exam, your next step is to apply to schools. The Associated American
Dental Schools Application Service (AADSAS) provides a universal application that many schools accept.
