I applied to Dental school this cycle. I applied around the end of July. My oGPA was 3.36, sGPA was 2.8. I got a 19 on my DAT and applied to a lot of schools around the midwest. I haven't received any interviews and I'm looking into applying to SMP programs. I was wondering which SMP to apply to. I want to stay around the Midwest. Has anyone heard of any good ones with a good matriculation rate? Or has anyone taken a SMP and gotten into Dental school?

feedback would be appreciated!
 
Yes, do a master's. This will increase your chances dramatically. I know of a lot of students that got the MS (with thesis) and are in dental school. IDK anything about the SMP programs

Temple has guaranteed "admission" SMP. Look into it
