The PASS Deadline Date is the date by which the submitted application and all required documents must be received by PASS to guarantee that an application will be available to Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine on or before the program deadline date.

Late applications

Late applications will be considered on a space-available basis. Applicants who wish to submit an application after the stated deadline are advised first to contact the program department to determine if space is available. All applications must be submitted through PASS as long as the PASS cycle is active. PASS closes its application processing services in mid-February.

When the PASS application is no longer available, it is necessary to obtain a paper application form from the Boston University Henry M.
