Hello, so I just finished my undergrad in Biological sciences with a cGPA of 3.012 back in May. I am currently studying for my DAT and am aware that I need to do a master's or post bacc. I don't know which is better? I want to try and apply next cycle and wanted to know if I could apply during my post bacc which should be about 14-15 months? Also will a post bacc be enough to make me a competitive student ?

not sure how much a post-bacc would move that GPA. If you're gonna do a post-bacc, one linked to a dental school might be best. Marquette has one. Id say you might be a better candidate for an SMP/Masters to showcase your academic abilities in harder graduate level classes.

I did the Marquette Post-Back and would highly recommend it! It definitely made D1 way more manageable vs my classmate's who did not do it

If you're concerned about your academic record or feel that you need to bolster your qualifications, a post-bac program can be a valuable step in improving your chances of getting into dental school.
