Definitely need to retake the biology class with the D. You can't have anything lower than a C-. Do really well in the MS. Now that you're in your MS just complete that and take the bio afterwards. You can also decide to take it in the summer if you aren't taking MS classes.

I think a lot of dental schools won't accept a C- or lower. I got a C- in a Physics class and had to re-take it.

Personally, I would retake those classes. C is the lowest grade that most schools will take for your pre-reqs. The D definitely needs to be re-taken.

do you think that I can retake those classes at another CC or has to be the same school where I took them...and also...if I just retake them at the same school where I am doing my MS...how or will AADSAS calculates them as grad work or undergrad work...

it will be nice if AADSAS only takes the retaken grades into count...

I know...and I don't know how much the retaken grades can help on my aadsas GPA...

thats not the issue. The issue is dental schools wont allow you to matriculate without a C or above in the pre-reqs that have required.

if i retake the classes at the same school where I do my MS...these retaken grades are considered as undergrad or grad because it happens while I am working on my MS...

your MS program will allow an undergrad gen bio credit to be counted as graduate credit?..

Interesting. Which school is this?

Retake the Cs and Ds and make sure they're A- and B+s at least.

Aim for 3.8+ for your MS program.

Get >19 on every section of the DAT.

Apply to at least 25 schools and get good letter.

You'll get at least 3 interviews I think.
