Dental schools in New South Wales
NSW hosts two dental schools with very different selection profiles. The University of Sydney runs a 4-year graduate DMD (~60 places) selecting on GAMSAT plus an 8-station MMI. Charles Sturt University runs a 5-year undergraduate BDS based at Orange and Wagga Wagga (~40 places) with a rural-workforce mandate — selection uses UCAT-ANZ and ATAR (~95.00) and a panel interview.
