So I will be graduating in May 2022 and I am planning on applying that summer. I still trying to decide if I should apply this cycle because I have a low GPA 3.1 (sGPA 3.0). I have confidence in bringing my GPA and sGPA up to 3.3 (3.4 if I work extra hard) by the time I graduate because my low gpa is caused by a horrible freshman year with 1 failing class as well. The last 3 semesters I had all A's so I think I have my problem all figured out.
I do feel like I can do good in a Masters program, but the problem is I don't know how hard Masters programs are so I am kind of wary. So right now I am deciding between applying for Masters program, or finding a dental related job while applying for dental school next cycle. One of my shadowing dentists taught me how to be a dental assistant and gave me lots of experience as one, so I think it is possible for me to get a dental assistant job.
These are the current pre-dental Masters programs I am thinking about, can people who have attended these programs share their experiences?
Nova Southeastern biomedical sciences
Rutgers biomedical Sciences
Boston University Oral Health Sciences
Tulane Cell and Molecular Biology
Marquette biomedical sciences
Does anyone know of any other good pre-dental Masters programs?
Edit: I think I might apply this cycle and take the DAT next month just to push my luck and see if I get lucky.
