<p>What's the difference between the NYU BA/DDS and just doing a biology major, and then applying to their college of dentistry? Is it easier to get in if you're in the BA/DDS program?</p>
<p>The program takes 7 years, rather than 8. You complete the undergraduate degree in 3 years, rather than 4 because it’s an accelerated program. </p>
<p>If your overall GPA is above a 3.2 and your biology GPA is above a 3.4 at all times, then you automatically continue into the DDS.</p>
<p>However, unless your stats are competitive enough to consider T20s and top ivys, you won’t be getting into the BA/DDS program. Only 10 students are admitted each year.</p>
