- Additional schools if 2022 cycle is needed: USC, Midwestern (IL), A.T. Still (MO), & Midwestern (AZ)
EXTRA NOTE: I have spoken with the program director, and she mentions that dental schools often look at the program I am in as both a Masters, and a Post-Bacc. She mentioned that some schools will consider my graduate GPA as separate, and some will consider it as an extension to my undergraduate GPA (combine both). She even said some will consider it both as a stand alone GPA, and an extension of my GPA (combine both). I have taken that with a grain of salt, but she was pretty adamant about the program being special in terms of being both a full masters program, and a post-bacc.
WAMC this cycle, as well as next?
