<p>why are we focusing on business when the OP says they’re interested in a BA/DDS program? </p>
<p>if you really are interested in dentistry, go where there’s less debt, because you’ll be in debt in dental school later on. </p>
<p>the program you’re talking about is VERY competitive.</p>
<p>[The candidate’s overall GPA must be a 3.2 or higher at all times during the undergraduate tenure. BA/DDS candidates must complete an abbreviated Biology Major obtaining a grade of B or higher in each course. In order to advance to the School of Dentistry, the GPA for the Biology Major must be a 3.4 or higher following its completion. As far as required score on the DAT, most competitive applicants will have around a 20 on the exam as per the Dental School Admissions Office (average - not cut off). You do compete with other students, though BA / DDS students get “primary consideration” for the transition to the Dental School.]</p>
<p>it’s not a guaranteed admissions program, but it does help save a year. dental programs are very competitive today.</p>
