What does the "Success Rate In-State" parameter indicate? Where do you source this data from?

BeMo Academic Consulting

Hello Tetoapollo! Thanks for your question. The in-state success rate indicates the percentage of in-state students that get in out of the total number of in-state students that apply. We gather this information from the dental schools. Hope this helps!

I’m a student at LECOM SDM. Just wanted to give you an update for the class of 2021. The stats on this site are incorrect. The actual DAT average for our class is a 21 and overall GPA average is a 3.74. I know that having the correct stats would be helpful to a lot of prospective students. I know the stats change every year and can be difficult to keep up with. I hope that this helps!

BeMo Academic Consulting

Hello Max! Thank you for your comment and this update. We will reach out to the school's officials to confirm this information. We really appreciate you bringing our attention to this! Thank you!

I just submitted a comment regarding incorrect stats for LECOM SDM. I wanted to include another stat update for the class of 2021. There were 3500 applications overall and only 105 seats were filled.

Is the GPA the applicant’s science courses’s GPA or the over all GPA? Do some schools allow entry after 3 years undergraduate? What is the dental school dropout rate before graduation?

BeMo Academic Consulting

Hello Ely! Thanks for your comment. We report overall GPA. Most dental schools require completion of an undergrad degree. According to some studies, there is around 7% dropout rate by the time of graduation.

Any idea of chances of admit from being waitlisted at Uconn

BeMo Academic Consulting

Hello Kilrory! Thanks for your comment. We do not have this data, but consider sending a letter of intent if Uconn accepts them.

Hi All, You show a category of in-state success. It would be more informative to show the percentage of in-state acceptance rate compared to out-state acceptance rate for that school. i.e. what is percent of students out of state? Thanks and great job to BeMo!

BeMo Academic Consulting

Hello Barbara! Thanks for your comment. We will consider adding another column when we update!

Amy Iskander

Would the school look at the overall DAT test scores for dental program addmition or look at the grades of every subject in the test separetely? Thank you!

BeMo Academic Consulting

Hello Amy! Thank you so much for your question. It depends on the school. While most schools look at the overall performance, there may be schools that pay more attention to a specific section of the DAT. We strongly encourage you to research your top-choice schools to see if this is the case.

Natalia Martinez

Is there anyway to see the acceptance rate for out of state students.

BeMo Academic Consulting

Hi Natalia! When we update the blog, we will do our best to include the out-of-state and in-state acceptance rates. Thanks!
