Hi! I'm in a sticky situation and I need help.

I'm expecting to graduate next year with a low GPA (3.1-o/3.1-s) but I have a very high DAT score (above 25 in all sections, above 28 in all the sciences)

I want to apply to dental school and masters programs at the same time just in case I don't get into dental school. Can someone tell me if this is possible? (obviously I know not to apply to a dental and masters program at the same school).

Yeah, I did that in June 2015 so I knew I did everything I could if I didn't get in/ultimate backup plan/being away from home during gap year. My housemate also did that as well as some other classmates during our Masters. A bunch of us got in the same cycle.

What were some masters programs you applied to? Im in the same situation with a low GPA but a high DAT.

The Midwestern schools (IL and AZ) allow you to apply to dental and if rejected, transfer application to their master's programs. No extra work needed

How does this work exactly?

Look at Programs that are connected to dental school that offer a guaranteed acceptance or guaranteed interview based on how you perform in the program.
