Hi everyone,
I'm probably going to sound like a worry-wort, but here goes. My application to dental school is looking pretty attractive right now - 3.75 GPA and 23/23 DAT, etc. However, I haven't had a science course in ages - since I was an undergrad in 1990. I had planned to take a couple of grad courses this fall to enhance my application, but I'm having trouble getting in as a non-matric. My question is: will they hold the fact that I haven't had a science course in many years against me? I want my app to be as attractive as possible because I want to get into a competitive state school. What do you guys think? Should I keep looking for a suitable grad course to take or not bother.
Also, I don't know if you guys have called any admissions offices recently, but they were SO RUDE to me at SUNY Buffalo. In response to this question the woman on the other end of the phone told me I should have read their catalogue to find out their requirements!!! Can you believe how rude that is?! I wasn't even asking about requirements - she couldn't even understand my question! Do you think I should complain to someone above or just forget it?
Thanks, Margaret
