First off I want to thank anyone that is willing to help me out. I really appreciate it.

With that said, as many other people present their cases, i too did not get into dental school this past cycle. Reason being, my gpa.

Currently I'm looking at 3 programs that I have been accepted into to help boost my gpa and help me land a spot in dental school for the 09 cycle.


The three program choices that I have are
Midwestern Arizona- MA in Biomedical Sciences
Rush University- MS in Biotechnology
UIC- MS in Oral Sciences



I have read a lot about the Midwestern MA and there is plenty of positive feedback about the program. I have a few friends that did the Rush program, but they were all applying for DO (all 5 of them that did the program got into Midwestern DO)

As far as the UIC program goes, i know NOTHING about it. In fact, someone just told me that its only for dentists. But it really doesnt make sense to me. TOmorrow i plan on calling the grad school to figure out some more info on the program.

Can i please get some advise as to which program would be best for me? UIC kept aside, both Midwestern and Rush bring so much to the table. THey also both have their cons.


THank you guys again, i very much appreciate the help.
