Hey fellow post-bacc enthusiasts!

I'm planning on applying to dental school, but need to do a year of post-bacc first. My ultimate goal is to land a sweet spot at Columbia's School of Oral and Dental Surgery.

I'm currently debating between applying to Columbia's post-bacc or applying to Hunter's post-bacc. The only differentiating factors I see are:

1 - $$$$$$
2 - The likelihood of pulling a high gpa (definately a must!)

For those two reasons Hunter seems like a good pick. However, come dental school application time will having the name Hunter on my transcripts make me a less desirable candidate than having the name Columbia? 😕

Which is better for getting into Columbia dental - to have a high gpa from Hunter or a reasonable one from Columbia??? 😕
