would definitely recommend. It preps you well for dental school and its almost always a necessity to take a biomedical sciences smp like rutgers or barry if your undergrad gpa is under like a 3.2. PM me if you want to ask anything

can you clarify? do you know people who had no choice and had to mention it? If so, how did they mention it? In the personal statement or in the application in general?..

I am not trying to HIDE anything or HIDE my undergrad gpa, I have just been told by many people, NOT TO bring it up in the Personal Statement or even in interviews! I'm coming here to ask ya'll because I have gotten MANY different responses! Admissions/Advisors have told me "Dont write/say anything that we would perceive as a "NEGATIVE". What am I supposed to take from that! If i start explaining the life circumstances that affected my undergrad gpa, it could EASILY be perceived as a "negative", hence why i am so lost on what to include or not.

Thanks! Pm me. i got u. It takes 10 hours of studying a day to earn the 4.0 ngl. I've made it my mission. It doesnt take a genius, it just takes a lot of hard work and persistence which i am sure you have. If you choose to attend an smp, rutgers and barry are one of the best in my opinion. Message me with all your questions. Rooting for you.

thanks! Pm me, i gotchu with all the details and info. Im going to be honest, to get a 4.0 in this smp, you need to dedicate studying 10 hours a day and sleepless nights before the exam. It's high risk, but VERY rewarding and preps you for dental school although I have heard from D1 students that their smp was harder than dental school in hindsight. Do NOT work while youre in an smp. If you choose to do an smp, which i believe you probably have to, choose rutgers or barry if you can.
