I had a 2.9 undergrad gpa and 18 on DAT, so basically every dental school I applied rejected me. when I started the program killed it and maintained a 4.0 gpa retake the DAT and scored 21. I have a couple of interviews as of today. if you mean by guarantee like a bridge program where you get accepted to their own den/med school, no. however if you maintain an excellent gpa it is highly likely that you get interviews and accepted to other schools. last year %65 of the entire graduate students got accepted to med/den schools.
Hey there!
There were about 50 dental track students graduated last year, out of which 35 of them got into dental school.
Yeah, everything is super expensive on that list I got. I am looking for a roommate or two as well!
The program has a facebook page (BMS facebook) if you get a chance and take a look you may find potential roommates, lots of out of state students meet through the facebook page and work on renting a place.
Yea I tried it yesterday and found a student thats graduating december so I'm picking up her apartment. I highly recommend it!
Can you post the link to the FB page here? Thanks

Have you checked the city Hollywood ? this is based on my experience but I when I was looking around the residential areas in or around Hollywood city were most affordable.
this is a better link to facebook page , https://www.facebook.com/BarryU.BMS/
This is Financial Aid loans however they offer some different scholarships I think. Of course, in fact that is how this process works. Almost everyone applies before they are graduated from BMS. I have 3 more classes before I graduate and I have applied this cycle and gotten interviews. I will be graduated may 2016 and fall 2016 is when classes start for any dent/med school. It works the same way for students on 12 month track. If you have your DAT or MCAT taken and enrolled in masters program you are eligible to apply and meanwhile when applications are under process you will finish your masters degree this means If you get acceptance from a professional school lets say on Dec 1th ( first batch ) , most likely they will require you to complete your masters degree.
So the good thing about getting an interview is that mos of the times they will let you know your interview date way ahead of time. If the interview falls into the same date as an exam professors will create a make up exam for you. As far as missing the classes for a few days while being out for interview, every lecture class is recorded and will be posted on Barry student website the same day so you can always listen to recorded lecture captures later. When it comes to interviews you will get a feeling of how manage everything it'll come to you, a friend of mine has gone through 6 interviews so far and she is still maintaining As in all her exams so far.
hey there! Thank you! What I personally like about this program is the amount of support I get from every body, professors, program director, even students. Professors are always available, respond to emails for meeting requests or questions as quick as in minutes. Some professors including the program director have open door policy where if possible you can hop in and speak with them right away. Everyone works as a team and I love how much support I get from other students. Study groups and sharing information is a routine work. You will get to make a lot of friends very quick and since everyone is working hard for the same goal it feels amazing. There are 3 active TAs on campus almost everyday. There are open lab sessions on Fridays and Saturdays and lastly, we have different student body organization like BMS society or MAPS, within these student organizations there are plenty of dentists and doctors who are willing to help us shadow them . Are you dental or medical ?
There is not a library on hollywood campus however, the regular class rooms are empty most of the times and students study in there or at lobby. Also, there is a huge library located at Nova Southeastern University which is in Davie very close to Hollywood City and since it is a county library many students study there. A third option will the city of Hollywood public library which is about 7 minutes away from Barry it is not very huge but decent and quiet. Barry university has a its main library at the main campus which is very big, it is about 20 minutes away from the Hollywood campus in Miami Shores.
Hey shoot me an email at [email protected]. I know someone that is looking for a roommate.
congratulations on your acceptance! two useful websites to look for apartments are forrent.com and zillow.com you can type in the area code that you would like to live in and brings you lots of options. you can look for city of Hollywood, Davies, aventura, north maimi, miami shores. these are the closest cities to the campus.
You can also check the facebook page.
Just wanted to add there also offer lots of grants and scholarships, and if you are a FL resident you will get a special grant Im not sure what it is though
Hey there, Biochemistry classes are held on Fridays only, and Physiology has two portions, lab and lecture , which is again once a week . Physio lectures are pretty long like 2.5-3 hours with some breaks, if you get lucky you can set your lecture and lab days together and get it over with , then you'll have the rest of the week to study!
I think they should start sending out acceptance letters and emails starting next week for those who have applied for fall semester, of course only if the application is completed. 3.0 gpa average and 18 on DAT average .
Do they accept GRE for predents? I couldn't figure it out from the website. Also what do they expect in terms of shadowing hours/dentistry-related experience?
Yes they accept GRE instead of DAT, in fact its even better. at this time there is not requirement for shadowing but if you have shadowing hours it will make your application to stand out.
Yes of course. In my Neuro anatomy class two of my classmates where pre-pharmacy , I recently heard they both got accepted to their pharmacy school of their choice,
Is gross anatomy as hard as everyone says
