Prerequisite Courses for Different Dental Schools Call: 888-839-9997 e-mail: [email protected] Speak to a Dental School Admissions Consultant Today. 20 Minutes Free Consultation What are the prerequisite courses for different dental schools? One of the most important requirements for getting into dental school is prerequisite science and non-science courses. Almost all dental schools required a range of similar courses like general chemistry, biology, and physics but these requirements are not identical. For example, some dental schools require anatomy, microbiology, or biochemistry while others don’t. Also, some programs may require two semesters of a course while others only require one semester. The lab requirements for different courses can also be different across dental schools. Predental students are often busy balancing their coursework with DAT preparation, dental shadowing, and other extracurricular experiences. It can be difficult completing the requirements for all dental schools or deciding which courses to prioritize if you are uncertain that you can complete all requirements. Furthermore, when it’s time to apply to dental school, figuring out which dental schools’ requirements you meet can be confusing. One common mistake among dental school applicants is applying to programs without first checking their prerequisite course requirements carefully. We advise our students to carefully review the prerequisites for each dental school because your file will likely not make it past the first round if you do not meet all of prerequisite coursework requirements. Below we have listed specific courses that are required by different dental schools in the United States. We also indicate how long (or how many credits) the course should be and whether a lab...

PA-CAT Requirements for Various PA Schools
Get Strategy Support with PA School Admissions! Call: 888-839-9997 e-mail: [email protected] Call Today for a 20 Minutes Free Consultation e-mail: [email protected] For years, physician assistant (PA) schools have been using the graduate record examination (GRE) to evaluate applicants. Students wanting to apply to PA schools in the United States need to take the GRE and report their scores on the Centralized Application Service for Physician Assistants (CASPA) as a part of their PA school application for many schools. The decision to take the GRE or not can be a difficult one for PA school applicants because the GRE is not required by every PA school. In the last few years, a new specialized exam known as the Physician Assistant College Admissions Test (PA-CAT) has been introduced. Whereas the GRE is broader and tests verbal reasoning and math skills, the PA-CAT is more specific and focuses on various science and math disciplines such as biology, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and statistics. Though the news of a new specialized test for PA school admissions has caused some angst among PA school applicants, there is good news for those that don’t like standardized tests. Most PA schools do not require the test – at least not for now. Some schools do say that they expect they will require it in coming years but exactly how many schools will require it and starting when remains to be seen. That being said, we expect that over the coming years, it will become a requirement for more and more programs. For students who are good at standardized tests or ready to take on a new...
