What Texas A&M asks of applicants

  • Texas A&M asks for at least 90 semester hours (or 134 quarter hours) from a regionally accredited U.S. school, with a C or better in every required course and no pass/fail or credit/no credit prerequisites. All prerequisite courses must be taken at the undergraduate level, as graduate courses and foreign coursework do not count. Source
  • Texas A&M asks for 18 semester hours of biology for science majors, including anatomy with lab, physiology and microbiology, plus chemistry, physics, biochemistry, statistics and English. Source
  • Applicants apply through TMDSAS between May 1 and October 1 of the year before entry with a $230 flat fee (as of Spring 2026), and must also submit the Texas A&M Secondary Application, which has no additional processing fee. Shadowing a general dentist is a required part of a Texas A&M application, and the committee also weighs community service and leadership. Source

The Texas A&M dental school interview

The Office of Recruitment and Admissions schedules interviews by invitation with the Admissions Committee, and not all applicants are granted an official interview. Texas A&M uses the Admissions Committee interview to judge non-cognitive factors, and its whole-file review weighs communication skills, conversational English proficiency, and factors that affected your academic or personal history.

Under Texas law, no more than 10% of a Texas A&M entering dental class can be non-Texas residents, and TMDSAS determines Texas residency for admissions. Source
