Hi so I completed my masters and did fairly well after doing poorly during undergrad because it was an engineering major and it was fairly difficult, I was hoping to get some insight of my chances would be at my school list and if there are any more you guys should think I should add? Thanks!
Overall GPA: 4.0 ggpa in a masters of biomedical sciences, 2.9 ugpa in biomedical engineering
DAT score (include AA and all sections): 22AA, 22TS
State of Residence: IL

Major: Undergrad in Biomedical Engineering, masters in biomed sciences

Minority? no
Reapplicant? No
Nontrad? no

Shadowing Experience:
shadowed general dentist for 175 hrs
Volunteering Experience: Mission trip to south america as dental assistant about 50 hrs, volunteered through a club on campus for over 400 hrs, volunteer for a disabilities org for 75 hrs, volunteer tutor for my neighborhood over the summer (45 hrs)
Employment: R/D intern for a startup making a website to teach kids communication skills (200 hrs), intern for a disaster relief organization (70 hrs)

I got C's on a bunch of pre-reqs, namely organic chem 1 and 2 and physics, do u guys think that that would exclude me from tufts because they talk about not having less than a B for the pre reqs?

Can I ask what master's program you were enrolled in?
 
it was a masters of arts in biomedical sciences at a university, so it was basically all grad level core science classes
