How to Apply
School of Dental Medicine Admission Requirements
The Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences School of Dental Medicine Application is now closed on the AADSAS portal. The application will open again for the 2026 application cycle in early May.
Admission Prerequisite Mapping
Applicants will be notified in early December (the exact date will be posted). Applicants will receive written notification in one of four categories: Acceptance (Provisional), Alternate (Waitlist), Rejection, or Hold after Interview (which means a decision is deferred until all requested documentation is provided). Admitted candidates will be informed of their status by personal phone call, status update in the applicant portal, and admission packet mailed via U.S. Postal Service. All other applicants will be notified via the AADSAS online applicant portal and by postal letter or electronic mail.
Per ADEA AADSAS® policy, admitted students will be provided with a specific number of days to respond to the offer of admission. The response period varies according to the time in the admission cycle when admission is granted.
