Deferred Admit 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.). To qualify for the Early Acceptance Program, students must: (1) be an Iowa resident; (2) have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.3; and (3) have a minimum science grade point average of 3.2. Students may apply at any time between the end of their first year and the second semester of their junior year at Cornell. Those accepted must then maintain a grade point average of at least 3.3. 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: Cellular Biology and Foundations: Organismal Biology),
205 (Cell and Molecular Biology);
CHE 121 and
122 (Chemical Principles I and II) or
161 (Accelerated General Chemistry),
225,
326, and
327 (Organic Chemistry I, II, and Laboratory); 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 313 (Developmental Biology),
315 (Genetics),
326 (Microbiology),
327 (Immunology),
328 (Neurobiology),
329 and
330 (Human Anatomy and Physiology I and II); and
CHE 334 (Biochemistry).
