Dental schools in the U.S. are looking at grades and scores, but they are also reviewing skills and experiences that can make a contribution to the profession. What can you do in your undergraduate years to make the strongest presentation to the admissions committee?  Submit your questions ahead of time through Facebook or Instagram, and members of the Predental Advisory Committee and others will get you answers.

The survey of natural sciences section of the DAT aims to test your knowledge of biology, general chemistry and organic chemistry. It consists of 100 questions and will be a marathon of an exam. The quantitative reasoning section contains mathematics-based questions that range from basic algebra to numerical comparison. During this webinar, the panelists will discuss both sections and offer practice questions for you to test your knowledge. Panelists will also share useful test-taking strategies to help you conquer the DAT on test day.

The Dental Admission Test (DAT) is an integral part of applying to dental school and can be a source of tremendous stress for predental students. During this webinar, staff from the ADA, who administers the DAT, will provide general information on the registration process and the exam, tips for studying, common problems encountered by test takers, and the most frequently asked questions.
