Hi!
So I am new to this whole post-bacc program. I am a very untraditional applicant for post-bacc but nevertheless, I still want to do it.
I completed my undergraduate in 3 years with Biology major (Pre-Dentistry) emphasis.
I got enrolled into a dental school and completed 3 quarters. However, due to one failing grade, I got dismissed from the program. I am now applying to Post Bacc programs to enhance my undergrad GPA and my poor (dental school GPA) so that I can apply to Medical Schools (decided to swtich my career).
Do I need to list my dental school GPA as a "graduate" GPA? Technically its a professional. Would it look bad, if I didn't?

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank You!

You have to report it

And getting kicked out of dental school is going to submarine your chances at medical school. You can do all the undergrad course work you like or SMP-course work you like but the elephant in the room is you failed out of dental school.

That doesn't exactly fill medical schools with optimism that you can pass their classes now does it?
 
Thanks for the honest reply. Personal reasons for getting dismissed.
Nevertheless, I appreciate your reply and honesty.
Per your other posts on SDN - your "personal reason" for dismissal was failing multiple practicals...
