View grading for each school based on four crucial criteria
Using internal and external data points, as well as our student reviews of each program, we constructed algorithms assigning each school a “grade” in four categories: Clinical Experience, Research Opportunities, Specialization Rates, and Social Life – allowing you to quickly understand and identify the right schools for you according to your goals and priorities.

Alongside data reports and dental school grades, our student reviews provide a first-hand“peak behind the curtain” you won’t find anywhere else. Our student reviewers speak openly and honestly about the best and worst parts of their specific school. You won’t find this information anywhere else!

Made by dental school graduates for dental school applicants
Why did we start GSG?
Everyone wants to attend the program that best fits their goals and values. We want programs with as many pros as possible and as few cons as possible. But ask yourself this: How will you learn each program’s pros and cons? The pros are easy enough to discover, as programs happily advertise their “good side”. You will find each program’s pros on their websites, school-produced content, and they will most certainly be present on interview day. The cons however, each program's unsightly underbelly, are more difficult to discover. They aren’t on the school website, they aren’t listed in the ADEA Official Guide to Dental Schools, and they won’t be highlighted in the interview day presentation. We quickly realized this as we did our own search of schools to attend. We worked hard compiling all the information an applicant could and should know before applying and wanted to share it with everyone through GradSchoolGrades.
Choosing a dental school will be the biggest investment of time and money you have ever made. We started GradSchoolGrades as a way for students to get the full picture and find their best fit. The information on this site cannot be found anywhere else; it makes the application process easier and less costly by minimizing the number of schools you apply to and saving you valuable time.
Trevor Oliverson
I grew up in Utah, and did my undergraduate studies there as well. During those undergrad years I set my sights on pursuing dental school. I was fortunate to attend the University of North Carolina Adams School of Dentistry. This ultimately led me to the Mayo Clinic, where I’m now completing my Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery residency.

I also grew up in Utah, and did my undergraduate studies at BYU. I meticulously researched dental schools while applying and luckily ended up at Columbia University College of the Dental Medicine, which was definitely the school that fit me best. I'm now an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery resident at Texas A&M University. I want all applicants to have my same experience by finding the school that fits them best; the creation of GradSchoolGrades came naturally from that desire. I saw and heard so many dental students who were miserable at their dental school not because their school was any worse than others, but because their school didn't fit them and their goals! Let us help you avoid that same fate.
