I had a pretty reasonble freshman year. GPA is just short of a 3.5, and my science gpa is at 3.2ish, got a B in both semester of bios, and an A in my first semester of general chem and B in second. No big deal. Lots of easier science electives later on to bring it up.
-Took first semester physics over the summer at a CC, and got wrapped up in 2 jobs and woke up one morning with a C. Didnt have enough time to bring it up. Now I have a C in physics at a CC. ugh.
Bottom line, how badly did I shoot myself in the foot here? My advisor said ti was cool for me to take physics at a CC as long as I got an A... I didn't even come close. Not making excuses but there were other forces at play such as my teacher being a ***** and my lack of any time to do... anything. Both could have been corrected by me. That notwithstanding, my GPA will be decent but not stellar, DAT I expect will be good, and I am more involved on campus than any other pre dental student I know, period. I will be applying to all 3 texas schools as well as some out of state "reach" schoosl like Columbia, UoP, UCSF, etc...
Do Dental schools look at transcripcts grade per grade? Or are they just going to look at the final numbers for Sci gpa and Ovr. GPA? Will they look at my transcript and frown upon getting a C while taking the easy way out of physics, or just see a good science gpa (which I still hope to have, when its all said and done) and leave it at that? Just looking for some reassurance here...
Cheers,
