Ok, heres the deal
I applied and didn't get in. My Stats are below. I want to be a Dentist, but I don't want to go through another year of school for a Post Bacc and still not get accepted. I would rather go back to school and get a useful degree, so if I don't get in, I can still have something to fall back on.
The problem is this: A useful degree is usually more difficult to get good grades in than a "mickey mouse masters" or a "post bacc". If I am wrong about this let me know. I was thinking a Masters of Biochem or Chemistry would be good. But would it do me any good to get a MS if I run the chance of not really improving my GPA? Or do schools ignore your BS grades and focus on your MS grades instead?
I have be out of school for almost 2 years as well, although I recently did an online Anatomy class. (yes,through a university).
Any advice would be great, and please feel free to give as much advice as possible.
