<p>Does anyone know how competitive it is to get accepted to the Villanova Dental Affiliate program? You get accepted as a freshman to Nova, take 3 years of pre-dental classes, and then start dental school at Penn. </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>We have heard it is fairly competitive as there are 4 schools that have the combined program with Penn plus the Penn undergraduates who apply directly as Penn students.</p>
<p>D completed her Bio-Dental supplement for Penn and it was mailed today. Even though she was accepted EA to Villanova, we won’t hear about the dental affiliate program until late March.</p>
<p>the dental program is difficult to get into, as are the other medical programs villanova has (MD, PT, OD etc…). I would recommend that you connect with the health professions adviser Dr. Russo for more specific info.</p>
<p>thanks to you both.</p>
<p>D got an email from the Director of the program inviting her to their information sessions at the upcoming accepted students weekend. I don’t know if all the applicants to the program received this email or if this might be a predictor that she will be accepted to the program. She was accepted to the school EA and also to the Honors program. Did anyone else reading this get a similar email?</p>
<p>Avon, sorry, I hadn’t been back to this thread in a bit. D is a junior, so she hasn’t applied yet. Good luck.</p>
