Have you taken the DAT?

Have you taken the DAT?

He has taken 3 science courses total of which all 3 are calculus. That's like 0/ 50 or so semester hour of bio/chem/ochem/phys. Do you really think he has taken the DAT?

You don't have to take those official post-bacc programs. Since you have like no science classes, just go back to UCLA and take all your science pre-req classes as an unofficial post-bacc. Then, take your DAT and see where you stand from there.

this is like the 4th thread made by you that you asked the same topic over and over again. and people give you same advice over and over again. why do you do this?

some people said 2.3 GPA at UCLA from 3.9 GPA at CC may be severely frowned upon and in another thread you posted you got distracted and went out party too much (yea I hope I lived my college life like you did) and you also posted you are (proud?) you still made that GPA and graduate considering the amount of time you put in your classes and how much time you spent on EC (partying, frat, and what not). Although your overall GPA now is 3.1, the high drop at UCLA vs CC is already a huge block against you. Dental School have this stigma against CC courses because of grade inflation (though im sure some CC courses are tough as heck and on the same par as university courses) but your record just enhance the stigma of dental school

and given you haven't taken any science courses in 4 5 years, going back to taking a bunch of science courses may back fire. but what do i know? im just a predent.

UCLA tuition may be very expensive. you can look into cal state classes and take your science classes there.
