Tufts Post-Bac Program?

[KPDMD]

Tufts is my number one choice and was planning on applying this summer for Fall 2014!
Just recently took my DAT and was not impressed with myself. I was working full time and in school, and did not even take organic chem yet! I grossly underestimated how much time I needed to prepare myself. I have a very high GPA, I am a dental hygienist, and I will have my sociology degree by the summer.

I was crushed after taking the DAT, thinking that my chances for Tufts were completely destroyed. I just recently discovered the post-bac program offered at Tufts and I was wondering if successfully completing that program would increase my chances of getting in to Tufts Dental.

Anyone out there complete this program and apply/get accepted to Tufts? Is it worth it or should I just take the DAT a second time and try like hell to rock it?

If you already have a high GPA I don't think doing a post bacc will increase your chance. It would be best for you to study and retake the DAT.

If you havent taken orgo yet then you should hurry and apply to post bacc so you can fulfill all of the prerequisites...

All of the prerequisites must be done at a university for TUFTS

Good luck
