Members don't see this ad.

so I had gotten D+'s in both Gen Bio 1 and Gen Chem 2...when I retook them, I ended up getting B's again (horrible, i know!!) My gpa is around a 3.0 with a sgpa of 2.8. I have an upward trend but am also taking biochem and some other classes this year. What else do you suggest I do? Any advice will be very helpful!!

Apply broadly, ie. nyu, bu, trufts, udm, case, etc.
If you are an URM, have a good chance at howard, as well as the above.
If not, i suggest a post bach, or even better a 1 year special masters program (search the forum for more info).
Dont give up, if you put in another year of hard work, youll get in for sure. And after all a year a means nothing if you really want to be a dentist.
