Early Assurance to University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine

Rachel Hargraves. Rachel was recently accepted into the Early assurance program at the University at Buffalo.

Early Assurance Dental Medicine Program

The Early Assurance Program at the School of Dental Medicine was developed to offer the opportunity for early acceptance to academically strong undergraduate students focused on a career in dentistry. Application to the program is made at the end of the second year of undergraduate study. Accepted applicants go on to complete the remaining two years of college and attain a bachelor’s degree before entering the School of Dental Medicine.

This program is designed to free students from the pressures and expense associated with dental school application and allow participants the freedom to select from a wider range of courses in the last two years of college. In order to be considered for the Early Assurance Program, an applicant must have completed two years of undergraduate study (approximately 60 credit hours) at a high level of academic performance. While there is no major course of study required, the applicant must have completed the English prerequisite and at least two of the four science prerequisites prior to application to the program.
