[edit] Controversies

The American Dental Association is currently investigating allegations of cheating by at least a dozen UCLA students as well as students from USC, Loma Linda University and New York University. After a months-long investigation, the Daily Bruin exposed alleged preferential treatment given large financial donors in exchange for admission to the dental school's highly competitive orthodontics residency program.[1]
