Does UT Austin have an accelerated Dental Program?

<p>According to this shady site, <a href="http://www.montclair.k12.nj.us/WebPageFiles/375/special_lists.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.montclair.k12.nj.us/WebPageFiles/375/special_lists.pdf&lt;/a> , they do. Yet, I looked up UT's Dental Branch and saw no such claims. Help? Please =)</p>

<p>They do have this: [The</a> University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, Dental School: Admissions: Dual Degree / Early Acceptance Program](<a href=“http://dental.uthscsa.edu/admissions/dual_degree.php]The”>http://dental.uthscsa.edu/admissions/dual_degree.php)</p>

<p>Wow…thank you. A year saved, that’s awesome!</p>

<p>Sir, I have just looked that rthe undergrad schools that participate in this program and I have to say, most of these schools are subpar to UT Austin. Why is that? Why wouldn’t they want kids from higher tier academics? <a href=“http://dental.uthscsa.edu/admissions/dual_degree_participating.pdf[/url]”>http://dental.uthscsa.edu/admissions/dual_degree_participating.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>My H go this undergrad from UT and his DDS from Baylor College of Dentistry. At that time, back in the stone ages, A&M was the only university that has the dual program. His roomate was an A&M grad who did his first year of dental school and his last year of undergrad concurrently. UT has never offered it and probably won’t. It’s not the dental schools that set this program, it’s the universities. Don’t ask me why UT doesn’t participate, but I am going to guess it’s money related :)</p>

<p>edit to add: I just looked at the list of participating schools and the mian campus of A&M doesn’t even participate anymore…just thier satellite campus’s</p>

<p>Yeah, thats what bugs me about this program. Why don’t the main campus’ participate? I guess it makes sense money wise, but…idk…If u take this road…then your basically taking a gamble.</p>
