This was the unofficial score I got on my first attempt. It has been a year since I graduated with my undergraduate degree. I graduated with a 3.0 GPA and plan on shadowing and volunteering at a few dental clinics and homeless shelters. My concern is my GPA is pretty low and was thinking of either studying to get into a masters program OR take a semester of 4000 level classes and ace all of them as a Post grad.

I do have research experience as well. I worked at Mayo Clinic for 6 months on an NIH granted research and also at my school in an organic chemistry lab. Unfortuantely I did not get my name in any publications.

Another thought was getting RLs from foreign post-doturates that I worked with. They are from Iran and India. Good idea?

Any thoughts?

PS I just registered so please forgive me if I break any rules. It is unintentional. Please let me know what I am doing wrong.
