what do u mean postbacc student? as in youre getting your MS? or youre taking upper level bios on your own informally?

 

[wizi]

yes, you will have a chance but I advice you to do a SMP (special master program) before you apply.

As in doing both my MA as well as my required Post Bacc classes for dental school. Thanks for the advice.

hi guys!

This might sound silly, but I am trying to calculate my science gpa! Do i simply average all the science courses? I read somewhere that organic chemistry is not considered a life science? your inputs are appreciated!

Orgo is part of the science gpa and so are math classes.

I'm not 100% clear on the details, but I know at The Ohio State University they will judge your Master's degree GPA once you have finished instead of your undergraduate.

Would definitely help to be above a 3.0 minimum for your science gpa.
Extracurriculars (shadowing, research, and volunteering for public health especially) are huge factors too if you dont have ideal grades.

Just get a respectable score on your DAT and show you are involved in life---they want a healthcare professional with social skills (who is smart enough to graduate) not a robot who memorizes minute details but doesn't care about the general populace.

And never feel like you are getting too old to begin! There are 10-15 people in my current class over the age of 28.

Science GPA is going to hurt you, needs to be a 3.0 at least
