Ok so Just need to get some info here...

I have a 3.61/4.0(cummulative) ...

Is that a good GPA according to schools?

Im taking the DAT in august so im gearing up to knock it outa the ball park😀, but how much will my GPA hurt me?

More importantly, what are your science and BCP GPAs?

Whats BCP?

 

[LetsGo2DSchool]

Biology, chemistry, physics. They included this because some people have inflated science GPAs with cheesy courses such as Nutrition and similar ones.

lol k

The only other science course i took was Earth science and im not sure if Math is counted as part of science or not but im gonna be counting as part of Total science..

Total science gpa 3.54


just BCP GPA - 3.48

Most schools have averages in the range of 3.4-3.6 oGPA and 3.3-3.5 sGPA for their incoming class. Schools don't report the BCP GPAs but you can assume they're on par with or a notch below the science one.

It seems like you're in range so I wouldn't worry.

Btw, Math counts toward sGPA.

If you're located in Chicago, then you have a really good shot at University of Illinois-Chicago as they are very friendly to in-state students.

According to 2011 ADEA Official Guide to Dental Schools, which are self-reported by the schools, they had 462 in-state applicants and interviewed 189 of them with 62 enrollees (they probably gave more acceptances than this), while they had 1241 out-of-state applicants and interviewed only 25 of them with 6 enrollees (with 3 of them coming from Minnesota).

And their DAT averages were 19.1 AA, 19.1 TS, 19.4 PAT

3.5 oGPA and 3.5 sGPA averages

And to further sweeten the deal, their deposit amount was only $300 for in-state and $1500 for out-of-state, with no further required deposits (2nd or 3rd deposits as common with most schools).
