Anyone have thoughts on this? If we applied already does it really matter how well we do these last two semesters? Obviously passing is required, but getting B's shouldnt be that big of deal, right? ok, this sounds like a lazy ass excuse to have a little more fun this year, but my schedule is actually the most difficult i have ever had. (All upper level chem and bio classes)

depends only if you get in.

Most schools won't care if your already accepted and get C's or B's

The only reasons why grades would matter would be if you have to reapply in the following year. Otherwise, no. Grades don't matter as much. Just as long as you get into dental school somewhere. But there's no guarantees that you'll get into dental school sooooo.... 😉
 
things happen in the future. happened to me. my senoritis came back to bite me in the ass when I had to apply to schools after graduation (now)
 
My advice: Study for the first semester of your senior year. Surely you'll get at least one acceptance by mid-January. Then you can be a lazy bum your last semester. 😀
 
Oh, and I hear you on all the upper level classes. I've got 20 hours this fall....4 upper level bios and physics. Haha, I just can't wait. :barf:
