Office of Admissions: Doctor in Dental Medicine

Thank you for your interest in the Doctor of Dental Medicine [DMD] program at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Each year the College of Dentistry accepts up to 66 DMD candidates into the program. A primary mission of the College is preparing highly qualified individuals for careers as general and dental specialty practitioners for the State of Illinois.

The application cycle for admission to the D-1 class begins on June 1. The deadline for submitting your application materials is December 1. A rolling admissions process is used, with preference given to earlier applications. Since the college has a limited capacity, it must be selective in choosing students.

The admissions committee starts the review process as soon as applications begin to arrive in June. Highly qualified candidates will be invited for an interview in the months of October – March. Interviews are mandatory and by invitation only.

On this website you will find helpful information about our admissions requirements, information on how to apply, costs and financial aid, and a list of frequently asked questions.
