Early Acceptance Program in Dentistry
The College of Dentistry of the University of Iowa offers the opportunity to apply for early acceptance to its program leading to the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.). Students may apply at any time between the end of their first year and the second semester of their junior year at Cornell if they have achieved a grade point average of 3.2 or higher at the time of application. Those accepted must then maintain a grade point average of at least 3.2 up to the time of graduation from Cornell. Applicants must also complete the course requirements for admission to the College of Dentistry and take the Dental Application Test (DAT) before beginning the University's Dentistry program; however, an unsatisfactory performance on the DAT will not prevent the student from entering the program.
At Cornell the essential minimum preparation consists of the following courses: BIO 141 and
142 (Foundations I and II),
205 (Cell and Molecular Biology);
CHE 121 and
122 (Chemical Principles I and II),
225,
326, and
327 (Organic Chemistry I, II, and Laboratory);
MAT 112 (Functions) or
141 (Calculus I); and either
PHY 101,
102, and
114 (Introductory Physics I, II, and Laboratory)
or
111,
112, and
114 (General Physics I, II, and Laboratory).
Other relevant courses are
BIO 312 (Vertebrate Zoology),
313 (Developmental Biology),
315 (Genetics),
324 (Comparative Animal Physiology),
326 (Microbiology); and
REL 361 (Medical Ethics).
