Every undergradueate student who desires to attend some form of graduate school understands the importance of their preparation. Applying for dental school is no different, it is a very tedious and meticulous process. For pre-dental students in Michigan there are two different schools in state; University of Michigan and University of Detroit Mercy's Dental schools. Both have different areas of concentration for applying students so required perquisites must be fulfilled for the desired school. University of Michigan's average acceptance GPA is 3.46 while Univeristy of Detroit Mercy's is 3.6.
There is not a required undergraduate major for incoming students but it is preferred that they are in a science focused field. For the DAT (Dental Admission Test), both schools have an acceptance score average of 20. The test is scored from 1-30, there are multiple sections that are added together to provide a composite score. Satisfying all of these requirements are crucial to be admitted into a desired dental school.
