Hi this is my GPA and I am not so sure what is GPA INC+/- AND W/0+ -?
What is BCP? IS Science GPA is the most important thing? Is it possible get into any Dental school with this GPA?

GPA Inc +/- means it takes plus and minus grades into account. (ex B+ is 3.33, B is 3.0, B- is 2.67 etc.)

GPA w/o is GPA with raw letter grades (A is 4.0, B is 3.0, C is 2.0, etc.)

BCP=Biology, Chemistry, Physics

Science is important but I'd say specifically BCP is the most important.

It's a long shot with these numbers, but you have a much better chance if you bring it over a 4.0.

3.0?

OP - have you taken the DAT? I feel like you need to bring your GPA up. Alot of dental schools seem to be accepting most applicants between 3.4-3.6. You can see how that is far from where you're at. Maybe you can bring your GPA up to 3.2+ before you graduate? Do some calculations on how many credits of 4.0 you need and make a plan.

Good luck.

Yeah, 3.0 😛

Sure, but how exactly do you plan on getting your BCP to 4.0 from a 2.7? It's not really possible.

And you're going to have to retake the DAT big time.

It sounds like you're not serious about this, is this really what you want to do with your life?
