The ADAT is meant to help programs assess your potential for success
and if you score high it can increase your chances for acceptance.
The ADAT was specifically designed to help dentists and dental students,
from the US and international, apply to advanced education programs and
become more competitive applicants, as well as give program directors a
better way to assess applicants. Of course, there are many
more factors that play into an acceptance besides the ADAT, but a
high score on your file can definitely help. Please take a look at the programs currently listed
here,
as they are more likely to consider the ADAT this cycle.
