Baylor post bac

i talked to the contact for the progam the other day and she said that the committee has not even met yet -

the brochure said all applicants would be notified on april 27 which is less than 2 weeks away - so i imagine that they met today or will meet early next week so that they can make decisions and extend interviews..

basically the program is a year of extra classes at UNT in Denton, Texas and if you maintain a 3.25 GPA you are guaranteed a spot in Baylor Dental's class starting 2006....

 

They've already begun their first batch of interviews.

 

source??

 

My best friend just got one.

I'd say that was a pretty good source, considering I was there when she got the phone call.

 

Does anyone have a link to this program?

 

what do you mean "man WTF?" ?? i was just asking how the person knew interviews had began - i was told they hadn't...and yes, gold_crown, i agree that your source is pretty good

anyways, here is a link for the program -

it's from last year but all the info is pretty much the same...

 

A 3.25 guarentees admission? Where have I been and why did I not know about this program?

Sounds interesting. I wish I knew this last year, I would have applied.

 

what other post bac programs out there guarantee admission into their respective dental school with a certain gpa?

 

my apologies then - anyways, this program is pretty much full - 50 applicants of which they are interviewing 12 people on friday and monday of which they are taking 8...congrats to all that make it...

 

I attended the Baylor SPEP last year, and we took DAT Prep and Human Body courses(Biochemistry, Anatomy, Neuro, etc.) with the post bacc students. You don't have to be a minority in order to apply, in fact, the participants last year were not minorities. It is competitive, but worth the struggle. You get about 3 chances to take the DAT, in which to score an 18, maintain a 3.25 at UNT with the help of a strong group of dedicated advisors, and you are paid $1440 a month for each of the 10 months you are in school. Also, the students got together and gave a presentation in front of faculty, peers, and UNT advisors.

I would encourage all to apply. Having spent last summer at Baylor, I can attest that the school is great and the programs are even better. Take care and GOD Bless.
