Hi all SDNers,
I am an undergraduate students in a community college that will be transferring to UCs next semester. However, I am now struggling between whether I should choose some famous UCs (like UCLA or UCB) or the relatively easier one (like UCD/UCI/UCR)
What I am concerning is, as my ultimate goal is to be a dentist, it doesn't really matter where I get my B.S., and getting in a easier school may raise my GPA as the classes should be relatively easier, whereas UCLA would be much harder and lower the grades.
Right now I have a 3.8 transferrable GPA (by the end of this semester, I think I can get up to 3.85), so if you were me, would you pick UCLA/UCB for more classes choices but harder classes? or go for UCD/UCR for easier grades?
Besides that,I also have some questions on the AADAS. If I decided to mail the LORs and transcripts directly to the dental schools, can I put them into the same envelop and ship them from my address? Or they must be sent by the evaluators and school?
Thx for your valuble advices!
