HELLO,
I am really confused guys, I have been in the united states 2 years, I have bachelor degree in production engineer and they equivalent my degree from www.wes.org my GPA is 2.83 and I have 136.5 credits. After that I decided to prepare myself for the dentistry school because I liked it before I enrolled to engineering school but I couldn't enroll because the system in my country depends on the GPA in the last year in high school and because my GPA was something lower than what Dental school accept.
now i decided to take around 50 credits for dental admission (bio1,2. chm 1,2 . or chm 1,2. psychology, english 1,2. physics1 ,2. biochemistry, Microbiology, and Sociology) i finished chm 1 with A- and psychology with B- and for this semester i am taking chm2, bio, phy, and english. (15 credits) and I thing i can do pretty well till the end and get GPA around 3.4- 3.5 for these 50 credits. my concern is that when i calculate my new GPA with the new GPA i'll get something around 3.0 - 3.1 and i did that in this website http://www.back2college.com/gpa.htm.
1- dose the dental school will count my old GPA with new one to figure out the cumulative GPA or they will figure out the cumulative GPA just from the 50 credits that i am taking them now?
2- in case they will count the old gpa with the new one and at the end i'll get 3.0 cumulative Gpa , 3.5 science GPA, and lets assume i'll take 20 in DAT, do you think there is any dental schhol will accept me and which one in your opinion they accept like this case.
3- in case they will not accept me how many credits more should i take more to reach 3.3-3.5 cumulative GPA or i should take master degree for example ms in biomedical engineer which is just 30 credits and its something related to medical field

thanks

1.) They will count your old classes as well as your new classes.

2.) In my opinion, you would need to get a higher grades this semester to offset those old grades. If you can show a positive trend (ie- your grades are getting significantly better each semester) it would look much better. If you took those classes and got around a 3.7 each semester that would help your case out a lot. Basically, do the best you can with every single class you are about to take because your future depends on it. More information is needed to see which school you have a good shot at. Some schools like volunteering hours, others love DAT scores, others love GPAs, and the biggest issue is the state that you live in.

3.) I would recommend taking the undergraduate required classes right now and then if you don't get in consider taking the master level courses.

Best of luck! 👍
 
thank you for your answer i think if i'll do well on my classes my cumulative GPA will be 3.0-3.1 , science GPA 3.5 , i'm living in michigan, so do you think university of michigan or Detroit mercy will accept me. also i found university of pacific they said that each case is individual
