Post-acceptance grade

Hi, everyone. I have what I think might be a vey stupid question, but I'm worried so I need to ask.

I'm taking microbiology this semester, and would be getting a high A had I not missed out on turning in an online quiz due to a scheduling mistake. As a result, it's looking like I might get a B or B+ for this class. I'm really disappointed with this grade, because I've never gotten such a score in a science class before.

I'm asking because I know that dental schools can rescind your offer of acceptance if you don't maintain past performance standards. I've gotten, and I don't like to toot my own horn, a 4.2 for the past three semesters. With this B, I could be looking at around 3.75 (4.0 scale). I have friends who get B's, and I know it's not that big of a deal really, but it's such a difference in GPAs that I'm concerned that a 0.5 drop may raise some eyebrows from my school. It's my in-state school, and I'm worried they may drop me. Am I being absolutely paranoid, or am I going to be just fine?

You're right. You have a very stupid question.

Sorry. I have a tendency to psych myself out when I'm up late at night 🙁.

I think one B is no big deal. I would worry if it were all B's or if you get a C range or below.

Not everyone is perfect and you should realize that before entering dental school, or else you will drive yourself crazy! One B out of plenty of A's will not hurt you. You should be fine! I'm pretty happy to have received a C early in the game to know that life moves on and that you can get accepted into dental school. Good luck!
