A non-traditional dental student can be defined as a student who takes time in between undergrad and dental school. Some students do this by choice to pursue work experience, a post-baccalaureate program or even military training. Others may not get accepted to dental school on their first or even second try so they look for opportunities to enhance their application.

 

ASDA has developed a guide to help non-traditional students navigate the dental school application process. The information in this guide was provided by non-traditional students based on their experience. The guide gives advice on coursework, the DAT, recommendation letters, personal statement, committee letters, shadowing and extracurricular activities for non-traditional students.
