I have a really really low GPA, but I decide I want to go to dental school. And I already graduated so I cant even bring it up anymore. Does anyone know if there's any 1 year programs out there and help me get into dental school. Like any master program and stuff. And NO postbach.

wut.

Anyway, there's plenty of programs that are specific to pre-health graduate schools. Such would be Midwestern, Rutgers, or just any 1 year masters program in biomedical sciences you can find in your state if you're looking to save money.

I'm confused, do you want to go to med school or dental school?

sorry meant to put Dental school

 

[Hi Im Dent]

So what's your reason to saying no to post-bacc for raising your GPA?

Probably op have too many credits and postbac cant really raise his gpa by much.

There are tons out there that give out master's degrees or certificates.

Some examples from a different thread are:

George Mason/Georgetown Advanced Biomedical Sciences Certificate Program (9 month certificate program with an option to receive a Masters from Georgetown if you complete an extra semester during summer )
http://georgesquared.gmu.edu/graduate-cert-adv-biomed-sci-curriculum/
*Does not require DAT score to apply and includes a DAT prep course during second semester

Rutgers Masters in BioMedical Science/Dental Scholars Program
http://njms.rutgers.edu/gsbs/prospective_students/info/masters_degree_requirements.htm
*They admit students for both fall and spring semesters

Masters in Pharmacology at Tulane University
http://tulane.edu/som/departments/pharmacology/masters/index.cfm

Masters of Science in BioMedical Science at Barry University(Dental Track)
http://www.barry.edu/biomedical-sciences/

Tufts University Masters in Biomedical Science
http://publichealth.tufts.edu/Academics/MBS-Microsite

Masters of Science in Oral Health Sciences at Boston University
http://www.bumc.bu.edu/gms/oral-health-masters/ohs-prospective-students/oral-health-admissions/

Masters in Molecular Medicine Research at University of Maryland, Baltimore
http://lifesciences.umaryland.edu/MolecularMasters/
*This program is relatively new and is more geared towards research if thats your cup of tea. You have the opportunity to work
with professors and their research projects from UMB's medical and dental school.

Most of these programs are 1 year but some may be 1-2 years if they are thesis based.

You might want to look at your in-state programs first because they will be a little bit cheaper.
Here is a search engine for pre-health post-bacc/masters programs.

Hope this helps

Lots of schools have 1 year science masters programs that can help you look more attractive to dental schools. I know LECOM specifically has one that if you graduate with at least a 3.0 you are guaranteed an invite at their dental school.
