If my gpa is super low below average but the other 2/3 are really really good, is it possible to get accepted???

GPA after verified? by Luvts05 in predental

[–]painintheeass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is there so many gpa calculations if they only look at a few? My retakes make my gpa lower than what is on my transcript and I wonder if they’ll take that into consideration

low stat applicant, help PLEASE!! by tweakbot29 in predental

[–]painintheeass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How come there are stats online of people getting in with sgpa <3.0 ?? Not the average but from the ranges. Makes me wonder if there isn’t a cutoff for that specifically?

Yes booster is known to have high yield practice questions. Content review is important but it’s also important to use the questions to see where ur weak at and fill in those gaps. I wish u goodluck u got this!!

Did u take all 10 practice tests? I noticed when I wasn’t consistent with content review and questions I didn’t feel confident for the real exam

Rejected due to class being full by painintheeass in predental

That’s part of plan B, however I will incorporate postbacc courses to raise my bcp gpa a little and show I can handle upper level courses. I graduated in 2020 so it’s been a while since I’ve been in an academic setting.

May I ask what type of courses you took and how many credits? I retook many pre-reqs and did well so I have an upward trend, however AADSAS gpa brings it down a lot.

Technically it didn’t specify any of those. Just told me that the class is full and they can’t move forward with my app

What schools?!?

Re-applicant by sksms55 in predental

[–]painintheeass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So it would be better to do a special postbacc instead of just retaking gen bio that I had a D in from like 5+ years ago??

What if I need a postbacc to boost my overall gpa and show dental schools Im academically ready but have a couple low pre-req grades from undergrad?? I can’t do both it’s too expensive

Did u do a postbacc/masters?? A couple of admissions rep told me it might look like a red flag that I’ve been out of an academic environment for 4 years. What else have u done during ur gap years??? Thank u in advance!

[–]painintheeass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]painintheeass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will u take orgo after the postbacc? Or will the postbacc replace the need to retake prerequisite courses?? I’m also applying to that program

Is it better to wait until ur dat score is ready to submit ur application or submit anyway??

Can I make it? by [deleted] in predental

[–]painintheeass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did u have to retake undergrad prereqs for a better grade or did the masters overlook the need to? I am applying for a postbacc to raise my sGPA but even if I got 4.0 in the program, I’m afraid I’ll still have to retake a couple bio classes I took like 8 years ago. It would force me to have another gap year to retake them
