9. Midwestern University – Illinois College of Dental Medicine-Illinois (CDMI)
Average GPA: 3.43
Average DAT: 18.6
While average GPA and DAT of recently enrolled students are not as high as at some of the most prestigious dental schools, two things might put you off applying. First, tuition fees, which are 88 percent higher than average costs of all dental schools. Regardless of whether you live in the state or not, you need to pay $70,639 yearly. Secondly, a list of additional course requirements includes four courses: anatomy, microbiology, physiology, and biochemistry. On the other side, you can benefit from an interdisciplinary approach, use of latest equipment and innovative curriculum. As a second youngest dental program on our list, changes and improvements are made on a daily basis, so if CDMI is on your wish list, make sure you check the college’s site regularly. Finally, the College admits international applicants and non-US citizens are eligible to apply.
