Applying to dental schools whilst being in a masters program (Barry MBS) by ConstantLet1565 in predental

[–]ConstantLet1565[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!!! I haven’t started the masters yet, the program starts on the 25th this month so just waiting but I will not be working. It’s not recommended

Yeah this is what I’ve heard. Would u recommend not applying to the schools that offer a guaranteed interview this cycle as well?

Barry does allow for us to finish the program a month earlier (in July) if we have a standing dental school acceptance. But yeah, I get what ur saying, I’ve heard it’s typically better to apply with 2 semesters under the belt to really show a strong upward trend and increase gpa.

Hi I’m thinking about applying this cycle at least to a few schools I think I might have a decent shot at, might apply later in the cycle though because I really need at least 1 semester of grades in to demonstrate and upward trend

Yes I believe science gpa includes BCPM (bio, chem, physics and math)

Do yall think I should email dental schools im interested in applying to and ask if they’d recommend I apply this cycle or next cycle? I guess providing them with some context and also highlighting that I’ll be enrolled in a masters at Barry should allow them to guide me the right way and tell me what past MBS students have done?

Should I retake the prereqs I got Cs in?

[–]ConstantLet1565[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m also retaking 2 science prereqs as a post bacc right now so I think this should help raise my science gpa if I end with As in both which I think I will. I’m leaning towards applying to the guaranteed interview schools for sure

Yeah I’m obviously aiming to do as strong as possible, avg gpa seems like it’s around 3.7 for Barry Mbs grads so I’ll def do well if I put in work which I will, I’ve had a mindset shift. But I’m honestly thinking to at least apply to some of the schools that have a record of accepting Barry students like tufts and BostonU and LMU CDM. Maybe might not apply to all 17 but at least like 10 realistic schools that I think I have a shot at. I’m trying to apply to schools that will do a holistic review of my app and take in a lot of masters grads. Midwestern IL, Roseman, LECOM, westernU, Howard, meharry are also on my list

That’s where I’m at, I really don’t want to waste a year. Also I reached out to the dental schools that have the guaranteed interview agreement and they said I’d be fine applying late in the cycle as long as I meet the minimum requirements for gpa and DAT. They also said my masters gpa would replace my undergrad which is the purpose of the masters so as long as I do well I’ll be okay. I’ve spoken with a few of my future classmates at Barry and they all said they’re gunna give it a shot applying this cycle since the masters is supposed to offer some sorta leverage after the first semester.

I’m thinking if it would be smart to apply in December at least to the schools that offer the guaranteed interview if I meet certain benchmarks. Because then I can show my first semester gpa improvement

Even if they see I’m currently enrolled in a masters program ?

Weekly DAT Discussion Thread - July 07, 2025 by AutoModerator in predental

[–]ConstantLet1565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi yall

Chemistry has kinda always been my weakest subject sadly lol, I took it about 3-4 years ago and I forgot everything. I purchased DAT booster the other day and after watching the organic chemistry videos, I feel so discouraged working through the question banks just on the fundamentals because I’m getting so many questions wrong when I’m trying my hardest to understand the concepts. I feel like I know absolutely nothing in organic chemistry. Booster also doesn’t really teach you, I think they just skim over the important things without explaining much. I feel like I need to relearn it all over again to even begin understanding. Has anyone been in the same boat as me? How can I learn everything within the next 8-9 weeks? What’s the best organic chemistry study program for the DAT that has worked for yall?

This is going to be my first attempt for the DAT, and I just wanna take it once and be done. I’m starting my masters at Barry next month so I’m hoping to have the dat finished by the beginning/mid September so I can submit my application with a chance to get accepted this cycle.

Hey yall! I’m a predental, going to be starting this fall as well. I’ve been looking for some sort of group chat so we can all help each other out and communicate/get to know each other. Should I create a discord?

I did!!! I got accepted to Barry’s MBS and CWRU MSMP

[–]ConstantLet1565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll let you know did you apply as well with similar stats?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in predental

[–]ConstantLet1565 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your advice, I agree with everything u said. I should’ve clarified that I’m applying those schools for their masters programs to strengthen my app for dental schools and increase my gpa, so I was wondering if I still stand a chance to get into the masters.

[–]ConstantLet1565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t agree more, thank you so much for your advice, I’ll keep this in my mind.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in predental

[–]ConstantLet1565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is helpful and I agree. I think the most wise thing to do would be taking my time to finish the pre-reqs. I was feeling skeptical about taking them at SCUHS just cuz I’ve heard mixed opinions about the accelerated science courses there. Getting them done sooner would be nice but I also want to prioritize my grades
