Hello,
I'd like to know which GPA admission committee consider for Dental school? I have Bachelor in Animal science, but my GPA is not good at all, but my prerequisites GPA is 3.4. I want to know which one is better to apply with my bachelor, or just with prerequisites course?

All GPAs are considered in your dental application.

Most important GPAs are your BCP gpa (most important) and your science GPA (second most important)

BCP = bio + chem + physics
science gpa = all sciences (look at AADSAS for what classes fall under science GPA)

Adcoms do look at your other GPAs though such as overall GPA

I looked at the list and was wondering why they list non-science courses like sociology. Are there certain classes that they just don't look at for either category? I took a ton of military science courses through ROTC and killed it. I would be irritated if those were excluded because ... well, those classes sucked.

You're in the big leagues when applying to Dental schools. They will find all your GPA's, activities, and pick apart every part of your life before you get in.
