Midwestern AZ: stats at a glance

Average DAT score at Midwestern AZ

Per the school's published class profile, the "CDMA Class of 2029 Profile" reports an Academic Average (AA) of 20, alongside individual section scores of RC 21, QR 20, GCHEM 20, PA 20, BIO 20, and OCHEM 20. The school also publishes a "TDAT" figure of 121, which appears to be Midwestern's own sum of six section scores (PA+QR+RC+BIO+GCHEM+OCHEM) rather than the standard AA — worth flagging if you're used to seeing only "AA" reported elsewhere. All of these are on the old 1–30 DAT scale; Midwestern has not adopted the new 200–600 scale in this profile, and no explicit mean/median label is given beyond "class profile average."

If you're trying to place a 20 AA in national context, our DAT score percentiles guide walks through the ADA's official old-to-new conversion and percentile tables, and our DAT score converter lets you translate any old-scale section score to the current 200–600 scale in one click.

Average GPA at Midwestern AZ

The same official class profile lists an average science (BCP: Biology/Chemistry/Physics) GPA of 3.61. Midwestern's page does not publish an overall/cumulative GPA figure — only the science GPA is given, so that's the only number we can confirm and report here. If you want an overall-GPA figure, check the school's admissions page for the current cycle, since it isn't published in the source we used.

Class size, deadline, and tuition

Midwestern's program overview page lists a "Class Size Approximation" of 145 students for the Arizona–Glendale DMD cohort. For comparison, that same page lists Midwestern's Illinois (Downers Grove) DMD cohort at approximately 140 students, per the school's own overview.

The deadline is firm and specific: per the school's admissions FAQ, "Applicants are required to submit their application to AADSAS by January 1st." That's confirmed identically on the school's catalog admissions page, which also notes rolling admissions and recommends applying as early as possible after June 1 of the prior year for competitiveness.

On cost, Midwestern's official cost-of-attendance page puts 2026–2027 tuition at $93,098/year, with a total first-year cost of $112,994 once fees are included, and roughly $111,427/year for years two through four. As a private university, Midwestern publishes a single tuition rate rather than separate in-state and out-of-state figures.

What else the school publishes

Midwestern's class profile also reports strong recent board-exam outcomes: INBDE first-time pass rates of 94% for the Class of 2025, 99% for the Class of 2024, 100% for the Class of 2023, and 99% for the Class of 2022, all per the official program page. The school doesn't publish an acceptance rate on these pages, so we can't state one — check the admissions page directly if that's a number you need for the current cycle.
