seriously... dude is trying to show off
OMG!!!!1 I JUST GOT AN A, AND NOW MY GPA IS 4.23!!!$&%^
ur stressing over ONE grade which isn't even bad... u gotta chill out and look at the big picture. looks like someone isn't dental school material 🙄
I'm kidding, don't go crazy over my last comment
Honestly, why would you even post this? Especially under the title of "Bad Bad!!!!!help!!!!" Do you really think it's that bad? Do you really need help? You're probably not trying to insult anyone, but you know your gpa is stellar, so there's really no reason to post this.
i'll try not to be as harsh as the previous posters.....
CHILL THE F$!@ OUT, you're fine.

Retake it to get an A.
I highly agree.... this can really hurt your chance of getting into a dental school. I mean, with a B- in such an important class, you are really pushing it. ALso, because it is SUCH an important class, you most likely should take more upper year courses in anatomy and physiology so that the admissions committee will see that you are capable of handling the curriculum. Also, because it is not the most challenging course out there, it really shows a weakness on your part to handle this material. If the committee sees that you are starting to slack at this stage of the game, you might want to re-consider dentistry as a profession...
ps....take this comment the way it is supposed to be taken....
everyone is being mean... i will be nice..... i had a 3.8/3.8, and yes at an interivew they asked about a B and why I got it..... A&P is important to do well in b/c first year dschool has a lot of it..... is a B- good.. NO!!... but the question is... will you be fine? yes!! if you do well on the DAT.... i bet you every person that posted negative has a much lower GPa.... you are a good student and should be proud.....

ha ha ha- seriously???
haha wow I'm starting to feel bad too... we're all shredding him/her. We're all responding like this because you have great stats and don't need to worry. That said, don't try to be such a perfectionist. That will not suit you well in dental school.
I'll be the 1st to admit that my GPA isn't a 3.9, but posting and crying about you ONE B- seems a bit silly
thats why people are jumping on him/her 😀
Actually my friend was in the same situation, he was a straight A student from Yale and he kinda messed up in an upper level bio class (B- i think), he applied to 17 schools with a 22 on his DAT. He had 14 interviews pre dec 1 and no acceptances. Unfortunately its really competitive getting into dental school these days. He ended up slitting his wrist vertically. Neways good luck to you.
If this is a legitimate thread, then I wonder about people like you. Are you socially inept or something?
Wow you made me stare at the screen for just a split second. Congrats.
I got something to cheer you up. I'll be needing dental assistants and hygenists in 3 years, and you're the perfect candidate! Look at it this way...you get all the practical benefits of dentistry without having go thru the hassles of dental school. And with your GPA, you're perfect!
and how effing dare anyone out there make fun of sajjy after all he's been through! He loves his aunt, he went through a divorce. He has two effing kids. His wife turned out to be a user and cheater, and now he is going through a custody battle. All you people care about is making money off of him. He's a human! Leave sajjy alone!!!
hahahhahah i literally spit my water out !!!!!
all you people want is more more more MORE (gets progressively louder)

Let's end the personal attacks now shall we?
.......
making a B may seem like a big deal now, but you'll be fine. seriously. You still know the subject well, and I'm sure you're trying your hardest. Just do what you can do, and get on with it; dental schools won't reject you for it!
this thread is tooooo funny...LOL...some of the folks on this thread REALLY had me cracking up!!!
Bahahahaha
Oh. And stay on topic too please.
Good luck passing gross in d school if you can't even get an A in it while in undergrad... 😱
i wonder what would happen if he ever got a c? 😱
but on a serious note, there have been some kids in the news recently that killed their parents because they felt they couldn't please them academically....from one story i read, when asked why he killed his parents, this one kid said something about not being a straigh A student...

Go for a run, chase some squirrels, or do anything else that can help you relax, because it's not really "Bad Bad !!!! Help !!!!!! If the grade annoys you that much, spend the next year and a half taking advanced physio, comparative anatomy, or etc. to show that you know how to handle these classes.
Chill out. Your heading makes it seem like you lost an eyeball. The overachievers 🙁 sigh
What happen to staying on topic? 🙂
ok well, I'll pretend to be a discussion facilitator. So yea...about that B-
This thread has a topic?
Please end this silliness as it certainly add nothing to the body of knowledge of SDN.

You are fine but just be aware that a lot of dental material will probably be handled like the Anatomy and Physiology class i.e. intense rote memorization.
when you say a B- ... dose your school gie GPA points on -/+ ?? Or will you transcript just show a B? My school we only get A,B,C's and so on... so the dental school would never know if it was an 89 or an 81... it sucks really bad tho because there is a big difference in the two grades...
