Midwestern IL: stats at a glance

Average DAT score at Midwestern IL

Per the school's published class profile, the Class of 2027 entering-class profile reports an Academic Average (AA) of 19.0, a Total Science (TS) score of 18.8, a Reading Comprehension (RC) score of 20.3, and a Perceptual Ability (PA) score of 19.1. The page doesn't explicitly label which scale these are on, but the 17–20 range matches the traditional 1–30 DAT scale, not the new 200–600 scale — and Midwestern's own catalog cross-references old-scale scores (like 17 AA to new-scale 370) when stating minimums, which is consistent with these being old-scale figures. These numbers are tied to the entering Class of 2027 cohort, so treat them as a snapshot of that cycle rather than a permanent bar.

If you're trying to place a 19.0 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 IL

The same official class profile lists an average science (BCP: Biology/Chemistry/Physics) GPA of 3.15 for the Class of 2027. Midwestern IL's page does not publish an overall/cumulative GPA figure — the only other GPA number on the school's materials is a minimum-preferred overall GPA of 3.0, which is stated as an admissions requirement, not a class average. If you want a confirmed overall-GPA average, 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 approximately 140 students for the Downers Grove, IL DMD cohort. That same page lists Midwestern's Arizona campus class size separately at approximately 145, so the two campuses are close but not published as identical.

The deadline has two parts: per the official Midwestern University Illinois campus catalog, the AADSAS application is due January 1, with supporting documents — DAT scores, letters of recommendation, and the rest — due February 1. Admissions are rolling: the catalog notes that interviews and offers continue at regular intervals until the class is filled, and specifically advises against waiting until the deadline to apply.

On cost, Midwestern's official cost-of-attendance page puts tuition at $95,457 per year across all four years, with total tuition and fees running $113,377–$115,214 per year depending on the year (the technology fee only applies in year one). As a private university, Midwestern publishes a single tuition rate rather than separate in-state and out-of-state figures, and the page didn't carry an explicit year label at the time we pulled it, so treat this as the most recently published cost-of-attendance cycle.

What else the school publishes

Midwestern IL's class profile also reports that the Class of 2027 is 64% female / 36% male, with Illinois, Michigan, and California as the top three feeder states. On requirements, the school's catalog is specific: it desires an AA of 18 or higher and a minimum overall/BCP science GPA of 3.0, requires the DAT to be taken no more than 3 years prior to matriculation, and asks for at least 2 letters of recommendation — none from family members, with one preferably from a dentist. 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.
