Hi Everyone- been reading a bunch of great stories and insight from everyone, I was hoping I could get help with my specific situation.
I am a TX resident via New Hampshire and now that my wife has finished MSW school I can now concentrate on my lifelong dream of becoming a dentist!
My stats are as follows:
Undergrad GPA (BS Chemical Engineering): 3.22 (Earned in the Honors Program at my alma mater)
Science GPA: 3.23 (dragged down due to ridiculously hard engineering courses, mostly B's and B+'s, no C's)
BCP GPA: 3.43
Graduate (MBA) GPA: 3.65
Reading everyone's insights into the TX schools, it would appear that my stats are low and it would be unlikely that I would gain admission.
My questions:
1) Does my Chem Eng degree receive special consideration versus a "less demanding" degree? How about the fact that I was in the Honors Program (accelerated, more challenging coursework)?
2) How does my Graduate GPA get factored in? Into overall GPA calculation or does it replace my non-science coursework?
3) Any advice on applying to the TX schools? I am 30 years old and therefore a "non-traditional" applicant, but I have an interesting story to tell and a lot of business/industry experience to add to the class.
4) Finally, what do you think my overall chances are for getting into the TX schools? I am also applying to Tufts, BU, and Case.
Thanks for the help,
