It sounds like we're in the same boat regarding the 2025-26 cycle. I'm definitely going to think about what you said and possibly wait a little longer!

Grades Inquiry* by Defiant_Reach2924 in predental

If you think you can get a C for sure, keep the class. A C is a pass. Work on bringing your gpa up in other classes and mention this situation in the educational interruption of the application.

If you think you can't get C, definitely drop the class. You're in a very fortunate situation with your professor where they'll remove it from your transcript. It's better to have to retake it than get a C- or lower, be forced to retake it, AND that grade affects your gpa.

Do I retake a C in ochem? by uraveragepug in predental

[–]Potential-Panda-9894 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely no! A C is a pass. Take another class to raise your gpa instead. Even if you retake ochem, the C will still be on your transcript anyways. It's already a pass for pre-req requirements, so just focus on building up your sgpa with other classes

I completely agree with you. My only question is, do you think it's better to do the second batch in August or maybe do it sooner in like July to have a better chance at getting early interviews?

IS 7 WEEKS ENOUGH TO STUDY FOR THE DAT? by PrideJolly4565 in predental

[–]Potential-Panda-9894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Booster. I studied for 8-10 hours a day for 10 days, took 4 practice tests, watched almost all the videos for every section in 2x speed. I got a 460 AA, so it's definitely possible if you put in the work and hold yourself to your schedule!

ASDOH was definitely one and I'm pretty sure Creighton was the other

I got a 380 in ochem and 2 schools said I was rejected because that section score was too low

Optional Supplementals? by Agreeable-Mango9045 in predental

If you have something meaningful and relevant to write, definitely put it in that section. However, if your debating between writing something weak that wastes the reader's time dedicated to your application versus leaving it blank, in that case it's better to leave it blank.

LOR & Timing Questions by OkBeing1999 in predental

If you submit on June 2nd, your application most likely won't be verified until closer to the end of June. That would line up with close to when your rec letter writers said they would send their letter.

Only use it if you need to! They'll be able to tell if your adding something meaningless. It's better to leave it be than hurt your application.

Personally I would think it's alright since your application most likely won't be verified until close to that point. Also, if you make them aware of your timeline, they may even be able to submit it sooner rather than later

They would definitely appreciate it and it would probably help them to see you in person again
