What “counts” in admission?
The admissions committee uses a weighted formula that is based on the success of prior applicants. The formula weighs cumulative grade point average and math/science grade point average. Priority is also included for Georgia residents, quality of references, autobiographical section content, and writing ability (See application form). References who have the ability to rate work skills or prior academic performance are recommended. Also, the admissions committee is interested in the reasons for entering the dental hygiene profession and in the applicant’s ability to express the motivation behind their decision. The committee does not require personal interviews. However, a visit to the campus is encouraged prior to matriculation.
