Selection Criteria

IMPORTANT NOTICE:  The College of Dentistry has requested the approval of the University of Saskatchewan to change the qualifications for admission to require applicants to have completed three full time (30 credit unit) years of university level course work towards a degree program between September and April prior to admission effective for the 2015-2016 admission cycle.  The results of this request will be posted to the website as soon as they are available.

Applicants for the 2014-2015 admission cycle will not be affected by this change.

It is the duty of the Admissions Committee to select candidates with the ability to succeed in the program. The Admissions Committee reserves the right to review the candidate’s entire application submission and to deny entry to candidates whose academic background or history indicates a diminished probability of success.

Assessment of a student's eligibility to enter the program is determined by Academic Average (65%), the Dental Aptitude Test (15%), and an interview (20%).

The College does not require candidates submit reference letters as part of their application to Dentistry.
Eligibility is weighted on Academic Average (65%), the DAT (15%), and an interview (20%).
