Quitting post-bacc programs

On the behalf of one of my pre-dent friends: If I do a post-baccalaureate program but then quit half-way through for good personal reasons, do I have to mention my time there to dental schools I apply to? It's not on my primary or any of my secondaries, so no schools know about it right now; they only know about my undergrad school.

My grades were only mediocre, so I'd rather not mention it if I don't have to... but I'm worried that I might get kicked out of dental school if my school figured out that I left out the whole post-bacc thing.

Well, you have to report your grades from ALL the schools that you have attended. You cant just put in the good ones and leave out the bad. If you dont report all your undergrad grades you could face some problems (And Postbac is considered undergrad). Your total GPA needs to be calculated by AADSAS. I wouldn't risk it. Show the grades, just don't mention the postbac if you don't want to.

👍 I agree entirely.

Thanks for the reply; I suspected that was the case.
