Touro College of Dental Medicine at New York Medical College: Average DAT, GPA, and How to Get In

Numbers below come from the school's own published materials as of July 2026 (each is linked to its source). Admissions stats shift every cycle — treat these as a snapshot and confirm on the school's official admissions page before you apply.

Touro College of Dental Medicine at New York Medical College (Touro) is a private DDS program based in Hawthorne, NY, with a dual-campus clinical model split between Valhalla, NY and Albuquerque, NM. Here's exactly what Touro has told applicants about its own program, straight from the school's own pages — and where Touro doesn't spell out a detail, we say so plainly instead of guessing.

Touro dental school stats at a glance

Touro's average DAT score

Per the school's published class profile, Touro's Class of 2029 entered with a "Total DAT: 21.0" average, drawn from an admissions table that also lists 3,370 applications received, 851 interviews, and 214 students enrolled. Touro doesn't break that 21.0 out into separate Academic Average and PAT figures — it's reported as a single composite — and the page doesn't state which scale it's on, though the whole-number format is consistent with the legacy 1–30 scale.

For national context: if this figure is close to an Academic Average, converting an old-scale 21 lands at 440 on the new 200–600 scale, which the ADA's own percentile tables place at roughly the 81st percentile — details sourced directly from the ADA in our DAT score percentiles guide. Our DAT score converter can translate your own practice scores between scales so you can see where you'd stand against Touro's published number.

Touro's average GPA

From the same Class of 2029 admissions table, Touro's entering class averaged a 3.60 overall GPA, 3.49 science GPA, and 3.78 non-science GPA. Touro's page doesn't list a stated minimum GPA alongside those averages, so a lower number doesn't rule you out — but it does show where the middle of a recent class landed.

Class size and admissions process

Per the school's own admissions page, Touro enrolled 214 students in its Class of 2029 out of 3,370 applications and 851 interviews. As part of the application, candidates indicate a clinical-campus preference — Valhalla, NY or Albuquerque, NM. Interviews are 30-minute, one-on-one sessions run in an "open file holistic format," assessing empathy, critical thinking, moral reasoning and ethical grounding, open-mindedness, and interpersonal skills.

Application deadline

Per Touro's official admissions page, the application cycle opens June 1 and the AADSAS deadline is February 1. Also per that page, the DAT must fall within a specific recency window for the current cycle — between January 2024 and January 31, 2027 — so confirm your own test date falls inside whatever window is posted for your cycle.

Tuition

Per Touro's official tuition page, 2026–2027 annual DDS tuition ranges by class year, from $83,990 for 4th-year students to $94,250 for 1st-year students (Class of 2030). With fees, total annual cost runs roughly $101,915–$116,065 depending on class year and whether a student is on the NY or NM clinical campus for upper years. Touro is private, so there's no separate resident/non-resident rate — everyone on a given cohort pays the same schedule.

What makes Touro's DDS program distinct

One more detail worth flagging beyond the campus split and interview format above: prerequisites go beyond the standard Bio, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, and English lineup to require a full year of Biochemistry as well, per Touro's admission-requirements page.
