Input your grades and find out your exact stats. Play around with it to find out what you need for a 3.4 science GPA and 3.2 BCP GPA. Taking a 5th year and delaying graduation (it won't look bad) will get the cheapest way but also make sure you only take classes that you know you can get A's in. (If this means only taking 1 or 2 science classes then so be it. Maybe try science classes in the summer?) Do the best you can on your DAT. Apply broadly next cycle and hope for the best, but if you don't get in at least you will have a higher GPA next time you apply. Best of luck buddy! P.S. I don't think your in that bad of shape as you may seem.

No need to freak out. Do your best in DAT. I'd say rather than staying extra year, spend that money on the application and apply to more schools. yes stat low for Maryland, but there are many schools will accept you. Work on your application more. And apply early.

I think if you can do well this semester and do well on the DAT and apply first batch, you will get interview invites and then just take extra science classes next year to raise that sGPA
 
Hey man, I have the exact same oGPA and sGPA with a couple Cs on my transcript but also got a 23AA on my DAT. Not saying that's the easiest thing to do, but I did it with like 2 months of studying. This cycle I have 7 interviews and 2 acceptances already so it's all definitely doable! Sounds like you already have good ECs so just focus on that DAT. I also applied really broad though, like 30 schools, so depends on if you care where you go to school, but you can definitely get into A dental school.
 
Do all EXS classes count towards the other science GPA?? I once was told that it was only EXS classes at the 300 level or above count towards the science GPA. Is this true?
