Hi guys,
So I've been lurking this forum for the last four years and I've finally made an account hoping that maybe someone can give me some advice on what to do. Last year I didn't even get a single interview at any schools. Unsurprising since I submitted really late (like..october late..), my GPA wasn't strong and I was a little lacking in extracurriculars.
So for the last few months I've been looking for master's programs or things of that nature, and I was thinking about doing Midwestern's Master of Arts of Biomedical Sciences program for Fall of 2015. But then I realized that the program is only a year, so unless I'm mistaken..if I want to go to a dental school right away after the program I would have to re-apply this cycle anyway right? Which is why now I'm scrambling to see if I can pull together another application by the end of the month and hopefully be applying a little sooner. My question is...should I? It's a big financial burden for me and I'm afraid to get rejected again and lose out on another few hundred to a thousand bucks.
Here's my academic stats:
GPA: Overall 3.203 / sGPA: 3.098
DAT Scores
-------
PAT: 20
QR: 18
RC: 25
Bio: 19
Gen Chem: 19
OChem: 22
Total Science: 20
AA: 21
Do you guys think I should pull the trigger? Or should I do a year of GPA grinding and try again next round?
Also, I hope that I'm not breaking any forum rules or anything. If so, mods feel free to delete this.
