I didn’t get into a class in one of my semesters and ended up with fewer graded units (~ 8 science) + 7 PNP (4 teaching) = total 15. I don’t want to seem like I’m trying to take easy courseloads to increase my gpa. Is this something to worry about? Please let me know your thoughts.

I applied at the end of October 2017. I know it was pretty late but I decided to just go ahead.. so stupid. I thought I could cram and take DAT in december however I was not prepared. So my app was incomplete. I applied to 6 schools that I didnt really care about so in the high chance I would...

So I realized after I submitted a few of my applications that I forgot to save my "how did you enhance your application if reapplying" answer, thus leaving it out of my application. Is there any way to have that fixed? Or what should I do?!

Hello everyone, I think I am in need of some guidance; I have been very worried lately (probably over-worried). I want to know if you guys think that I have a chance at getting in to dental schools this coming application cycle. I am currently studying for my DAT that I am planning to take in...

Some of my BME classes are ethics in engineering or some is Statistics for BME so I don't know if have to consider them as biology classes or consider them engineering classes under Other science.

Hope all is well. I am wondering if you could please answer some questions about DAT/dental school app. Thank you so much!! 1. Should I start working on the dental school application now? Would it be okay if I submit the application without the DAT score, meaning do schools review the...

The PPHS at my school stated they will not grant me a committee interview due to my low math/science GPA (however this is only because the first time I was in school, I dropped out with poor grades. I'm now at another university, several years later, with good grades). My question is - do you...
