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...

The CASPer is a personality test that assesses a PA school applicant’s ability to navigate difficult ethical and social scenarios. In the CASPer, you are presented with a variety of written and video prompts involving difficult situations and asked what you would do in each situation. Why do PA schools use the CASPer? PA schools use this test because it evaluates your ability to solve a problem by drawing on qualities like empathy, teamwork, and communication. What are Duet and Snapshot?

The GRE is required by many PA schools across the US. 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. What is the PA-CAT? In the last few years, a new specialized exam known as the Physician Assistant College Admissions Test (PA-CAT) has been introduced. The PA-CAT is administered by Exam Master and considered by some schools to be superior to the GRE. Rather than testing applicants on verbal and quantitative reasoning as the GRE does, the PA-CAT is a specialized test comprising general biology, microbiology, anatomy and physiology, genetics, general chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, statistics, and behavioral science. How Long is the PA-CAT? There are a total of 240 multiple-choice questions on the test. Applicants will have 4 hours and 30 minutes to take the test but there are breaks between sections. The PA-CAT is administered through Prometric, a testing center with branches all across the United States, where the test is administered. The test is also available to take through Prometric remotely from your computer at home using their live remote proctor system. Do I Need to take the PA-CAT to Apply to PA School?
