So I've decided to start an informal post-bacc. program to raise my awful 2.76 GPA. My number one dental school choice would be University of the Pacific, followed by USC, Western, and UCSF. I'd love to stay in Cali (close to family).
Alright, so...I've been advised to contact admissions and simply talk to them about my situation. Question is...what do I say?? I want to call UoP but I get the jitters every time I think about it. How do I explain my situation? Do I ask what classes they recommend I take during my post-bacc. year? Are there counselors/deans I can keep in contact with at the school during my post-bacc. process to keep them informed of how well I'm doing, etc? ANY advice you can offer me is greatly appreciated.
My main goal is to show them that I'm absolutely infatuated with the idea of getting into Dental school (UoP's, specifically). Thank you so much for your time...
