Hi, I'm kind of nervous, so I had to ask a question. I know a lot of people say that dental schools look really hard at your trend of grades at time of application etc. Well, I have a 3.63 right now, but I'm taking three science courses this semester (Ecology, Micro, and Genetics). If I get a C in Micro and B's in the other two it will drop my GPA down to 3.53. Will dental schools look at this as a bad sign, or will they consider the courses a little and deem it normal. What do you think they'll think. I know, I'm overly paranoid, but I do need to sleep on this, so for my wife's sake so she doesn't go insane around me, just humor me with an honest answer. Thanx, Kenny

I think you answered your own ? IF you fear that D school will look down on it, then they probably will. I tell you a 3.5 isn't bad as long as you rock the DAT. Thats WHAT I DID 😀

hey, i think it still matters. if ur overall gpa is going to be a 3.5, thats fine. but what about ur science? with three science classes with a B and one with a C, thats a 2.X. thats not good. i believe ur science gpa is more important than ur overall.
