Class GPA and DAT are 2025-26 entering class averages. Acceptance rate is offers ÷ applications, 2023–2025. Puerto Rico's three schools are listed when your home state is Puerto Rico.

How it works

Where the numbers come from

The calculator is built on 60,285 real applicants from 2021–2025, using national applicant reports and ADA data on every dental school. It weighs your GPA, DAT and home state against what actually happened to applicants like you, and against each school's entering class. Its results are matched to the published enrollment rates.

Regional agreements and long-running state patterns are marked in your school list. Calculator Plus adds race/ethnicity, adjusted for scores. Gender is shown for information only.

Read it as a guide

These are rates for past applicants with numbers like yours, not a prediction for you. Interviews, experience, letters, essays and timing all matter and aren't in the data. Schools with a specific mission, such as historically Black Howard and Meharry, weigh much more than numbers. Chances at individual schools don't add up to your overall chance.
