It also describes Casper as required. Louisville DMD admissions criteria
Important dates
The traditional-pathway page describes an annual AADSAS process and a December 31 timeline, but it does not label that timetable as Fall 2027. Treat it as a source to recheck, not a confirmed 2027 deadline. Louisville traditional DMD pathway
How selection works
The School of Dentistry says its admissions committee uses an Admissions Index with academic and non-academic components listed as 51% and 49%. Historical class statistics on the page are not a promise about Fall 2027. Louisville DMD admissions criteria
Interview details
Confirmed
The current criteria page confirms Casper as part of the application. Louisville DMD criteria
Not published
The current official pages do not publish a traditional DMD interview station count, duration, platform, scoring rubric, or Fall 2027 interview schedule.
Who this program may suit
The traditional route combines academic prerequisites with non-academic evaluation, Casper, recommendations, observation, and technical standards. Applicants who can connect dental exposure to ethical, patient-centred communication may find that preparation relevant. Louisville DMD admissions criteria
