hi,

so i just recently found out about these SMP programs and I think that they are wonderful opportunities to improve one's science gpa. However, I have one question...do these programs admit applicants with <3.0 science gpas and >3.0 overall gpas?

cheers.

SMPs don't improve one's sGPA in UG.

If we want to be extremely general then yes there are cases/programs that do admit students with those stats.

I'd suggest if you want a definite answer to be a bit more transparent and thick skinned and list your stats/programs you wish to attend.

and just out of curiosity. for those who attended the 1 year masters programs...what do you guys recommend doing in the year time frame before attending dental/medical school?

It is definitely possible.

Many people decide to get jobs, do some research, take a year to do full-time volunteering..
