Applicants must apply through the Associated American Dental Schools Application Service (AADSAS). The AADSAS application for admission must be completed and submitted prior to January 1. Because of the rolling basis of the admissions process, applicants are urged to apply much earlier than the application deadline.
At the same time the AADSAS application is submitted, applicants should send a non-refundable application fee in the amount of $85 (USD), made payable to the University of Maryland. An Application cannot be processed by the School of Dentistry until the application fee has been received.
The application fee can be paid online, or by check or money order. Application fees should be accompanied by the applicant's name (as it appears on their AADSAS application) and AADSAS number. Mailed application fees should be addressed to:
University of Maryland School of Dentistry
Dean's Suite - 6th Floor South
650 West Baltimore Street - Suite 6410
Baltimore, Maryland 21201
Once applications are processed by the Office of Admissions, they are carefully reviewed. This evaluation includes a review of the academic record, DAT scores, essay, and other information included as part of the AADSAS application. Candidates whose applications meet preliminary screening criteria will be invited to continue with the admissions process and will receive an invitation to complete the University of Maryland supplemental application. Upon receipt of the completed supplemental application, applicants advancing in the admissions process will be invited for an interview with members of the Committee on Dental Recruitment and Admissions. A personal interview does not guarantee admission.
