Hi everyone,
After reading up on many posts about post-bacc options, the majority of senior members say that doing a post-bac is better than doing a traditional masters. I'm pre-dental and graduated from a UC with an overall 2.98 (2.3 science GPA). I majored in a non-science major, and I've done all the science pre-reqs in undergrad. I'm now starting a master's in microbio in fall 2010. DAT scores were below 20s in all categories (closest was 19 in reading comp). I've done tons of volunteering, shadowing, and research. I don't want to repeat doing the same things over again. I took the advice from one dent school admissions advisor to get a master's program, but was he right? I feel like I was led off a cliff if everyone is saying doing the post-bacc is better. What are some suggestions that I can do (especially from senior SDN members)? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
