Does going to an Adventist college make a difference in getting accepted into LLU School of Dentistry?
Because the Seventh-day Adventist Church owns and operates Loma Linda University, preference is given to qualified dental applicants who are members of the Church. The choice of one’s undergraduate institution is a personal one and may involve many factors, including the majors available at a church college/university and the family financial situation. Attendance at one of the Church’s institutions demonstrates a certain financial and philosophical commitment to the value of a Christian and Seventh-day Adventist education. Unless it can be demonstrated that there in an inconsistent interest in a Christ-centered education, there should be no prejudice toward anyone not enrolled in an Adventist college/university.
