Well, it looks like I got a B in General Chemistry 2 this past semester; dangit! I got an A in the lab, though. Unfortunately, I also got a B in College Algebra.
I know that these grades aren't bad, but some of you may recall that I'm shooting to get into dental school after just 3 total years of college (I would be applying at the end of my sophomore year). I just finished my freshman year; these are my current pre-req. grades:
General Chemistry 1 Lecture/Lab -- A/B
General Chemistry 2 Lecture/Lab -- B/A (wish it was the other way around!)
Principles of Biology 1 Lecture/Lab -- A/A
This Fall, I'm scheduled to take Organic Chemistry 1 (w/ lab) and Anatomy and Physiology (for a healthy science GPA boost). The rest of what I take will be non-BCP.
If my calculations are correct, my BCP GPA is currently a 3.67. My overall sits dead at a 3.60. Do you guys think I will still have a shot at getting accepted after two years if I earn an A in Organic Chemistry 1 & 2 (shouldn't be much of a battle -- my uni. has a new teacher, and his tests are all open book, and he doesn't even give a final test), an A in Anatomy and Physiology and an A in Biology II? I will try to make an A in whatever the hell else I have, but I'll also be taking Statistics, and I suck hard at math.
Another dude on this forum told me he applied to MCG after two years with stellar stats: 3.7 GPA, 22+ DAT scores, ECs, etc. He was turned down! I plan on applying to every dental school in the country that accepts out-of-state white males.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks...
