Which postbacc program would best suit my situation?

1. I want to go to Dental School very badly.

2. Graduated with a degree in Biobehavioral Health from Penn State with a cumulative GPA of 2.9.

3. Already took a fair amount of science courses
- Bio I w/ Lab
- Bio II w/ Lab
- Gen Chem I w/Lab
- Gen Chem II w/ lab
- Organic Chemistry I (which I received a D in)
- Genetics

4. I still have remaining pre-requisites to take which includes
- Physics I w/ Lab
- Physics II w/ Lab
- Organic Chemistry II
- Are there any post-bacc programs that would accept someone like me who already took a fair amount of science courses, but still need to fulfill the prerequisite courses necessary for dental school?

I'm not pre-dental but I think most postbac programs require 2 semesters of Biology, Gen Chem and Orgo (you should be fine not taking physics but check with individual programs). I highly recommend retaking Org 1, and completing Org 2 before applying to these programs (as most postbacs don't offer organic chemistry aside from Biochem, and the D will hurt you in the long run). There's a few "career change" postbac I've seen for pre-medical, so there's got to be a few for pre-dental as well. Good luck!
