I just got a bummed out grade in a second semester pharmacology course at umdnj (C+, was .5 off of a B/3.0 and the prof was being an dingus about it...and that too because of a family hospitalization on the day of the one test i did poorly on...which the prof knew about 😡 ). This is a post bacc masters level course. I took the first half of the pharmaclogy couse last semester (kinetic/dynamic areas) and managed a B. Is this going to be the end of me and aspirations of dental school? really....really bummed at the moment....and I still have a dental biochem final to study for.......aaagh 🙁

Well, I'm not sure if Masters level courses make any more difference, but I got into dental school (two, actually) with the following grades:

C+ in Histology
C+ in O. Chem 1
C- in O.Chem 2
C+ in Cellular Biology
D+ in Biochemistry (the crown jewel)
C in Advanced Physiology Lab
C in English 101

If that's your only C, what I'm trying to tell you is: There's hope for you. 🙂

balance....were you at UMDNJ?

also...just to clarify, this is a masters level course....not an undergrad....

You should cut your hands off. There are no dentists with C's in pharmacology, of all things, practicing right now.....

I think he was just stating your name...maybe you should change it to avoid insults, Richard.

Richard (nice name by the way, it's royalty), I am the third Dick in my family, (Dick III) and I am very proud of my name. In our family, we have tradition and custom.

which school did you get into? how???? did you get 30s on the DAT, are u a really good looking girl or something?

You should cut your hands off. There are no dentists with C's in pharmacology, of all things, practicing right now.....

This might be the only way to get into dental school OP. Filing our AADSAS application as a medically impaired (i.e. handless) applicant will make your application 10 times stronger, which is strong enough to cover that single C you have in pharmacology.

Typo obviously had both hands and feet cut off to get in. 🙂

I guess I should have pointed out that I did pretty well on the DAT. If you get as many crappy grades as I do, make sure you do well on the DAT. I also applied extremely early.

I got into Maryland and UNLV. UNLV is my state school and I think that definitely helped. I also got an interview at UNC (which was disastrous - let's not talk about that 😛). However, I only applied to 6 schools. I like to think that if I had applied to more I would have gotten in, but who knows?

I suppose the moral of the story is that one C, or even two, definitely won't kill your chances. If you get as many as I did, it's possible to get in, but you've gotta have something else that makes you stand out, and be smart about which schools you apply to.
