OFFICE OF ADMISSIONS AND STUDENT RECRUITMENT

Jeffrey Linfante, D.M.D., Director of Admissions and Student Recruitment

The Office of Admissions and Student Recruitment serves several important functions, including representing New Jersey Dental School to prospective students, assisting students throughout the application process, and encouraging students to consider the profession of dentistry as a career. Admission to NJDS is highly selective and competitive. Applicants are selected for an interview on the basis of a number of criteria which include academic excellence, leadership qualities, demonstrated compassion for others and broad extracurricular experience. The Admissions Committee also considers the candidate's motivation and perseverance. Although NJDS does not require a minimum GPA or minimum DAT score, competition tends to favor those with stronger credentials.
