Barry SMP

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Since a 19-20 DAT score might not be able to offset a 3.0 gpa so I decided to do a 1 yr MS in Biomed Science at Barry U and I would like to know the grading policy over there?
Their BMS program doesn't do + or - grades. An "A" is 100-90, "B" is 80-89, "C" is 70-79, and anything below a 70 is considered an F.
 
How are exams administered over there? Is it all Multiple Choice? Btw do they curve grades or no?
Exams are taken through this lockdown program called examplify/examsoft. Your video and audio is recorded, and for the most part exams are multiple choice. There were classes that I have taken that had open ended exams also, so you can expect a blend depending on the course. Grades are not supposed to be curved, but some professors may curve depending on the course and their policy. Like I've seen some curve like an 89.6 to a 90.

I meant open response questions where you just type in the answer.

Yeah many people do, the program has connection with BU in which students with a minimum of a 3.7 GPA after their first semester will receive a guaranteed interview. They do prioritize in-person students for this, but also meet with online students. There are also online students who get into the school by just applying regularly without the early guaranteed interview.

When was the last time someone got accepted to BU with an online masters program at Barry? Was it this cycle?

Every cycle there are a students that get into both Tufts and BU (they are just popular choices for some reason and Tufts especially often have a lot of Barry alumni). For each it's a blend of online + in-person, the only thing is that BU does prefer for your prerequisites to be done in-person. I know some people who did the program online, and satisfied the early assurance requirement and flew down to Florida for an in-person interview opportunity with the BU admissions. Overall, there are many schools that accept Barry students since the program is well known for its rigor and prep. The full acceptance list of Barry students is here.

lets say that i did the program online, and i hit the 3.65 hallmark in my masters gpa, and i did not get the guaranteed interview from BU, but i still got the interview, will i only interview during regular admissions cycle like everyone else during that cycle which is held virtually?

The link you provided to me just only shows the schools people got accepted to, but not the students names that matriculated to each school.

I would like to know when was the last time someone got accepted to BU with an online masters degree since Dr. Kasberg has taken over in the BU Dean of Admissions?

Is that true that at Barry University when you are applying to dental schools, does the Barry transcript indicate that you completed the program on-line or in person? Will dental schools figure out that you did the program in person or online?
