Hello everyone,
I have a really uncompetitive GPA so I am doing a one year master's currently and have a 4.0 currently and also i retook some of my science pre-reqs as a post back and have about a 16 credit hr. post-bacc. tldr: do you guys know if/what schools look at the grad. gpa instead that essentially replaces the undergrad gpa?

Schools will look at both, if you have a 4.0 grad GPA then your undergrad will not hamper your chances as much, especially if you pair them with a good DAT score. Don’t think any school will replace your UG with your grad GPA however, as the AADSAS portal will give them both to consider.

Uh well I don’t know any other school that has a class as large as NYU’s off the top of my head, maybe try the ADEA Explorer

MWU does as well (140 I believe).

generally class size is either indifferent or imo a larger class can be worse. Less individual attention in sim clinic and clinic and you won’t get to know your classmates that easily.
