If you got accepted with a GPA under 3.0, then share the info!!!
much love
much love
I got in with just a little over a 3.0, but I had a 3.6 in graduate work. On the positive side for people looking for hope, I am white. Remember, while it shouldn't, race does make a big difference...possibly gender too, but many more females are applying now so I'm not sure on that one. This in no way implies that minorities or females that get into dental school aren't as strong of applicants. I am female. I think dental schools only pick applicants that they know can succeed regardless of race. Still, I think minority groups can get in with a lower GPA as long as something else is positive in their application. I'm sure everyone knew this though
No, I agree Asians if anything have it tougher. I guess I meant underrepresented minorities (aka african americans and hispanics) I know a couple that got in with a 2.7 and no post graduate work. I believe that I would not have had a chance with a 2.7 coming fresh out of undergrad.
hey even my asian fwend with a 2.5 got in
Yeah~ it's sad to know that there are applicants who got rejected even though they are more qualified than those who got accepted because of diversity (or affirmative action). But life is full of unfairness and you have to overwhelm it lol.
hey armorshell did you get into UOP???
Yep, with the Dean's Scholarship to boot!
LOL! I doubt that the .001% of minority students who get into dental school would have much of an affect on the "fairness" of acceptances...ppl tend to want to blame their misfortunes on something I guess. I know for a fact that less than 1.5% of dentists are black. F.Y.I
haha its cool sugarNACL
i agree with ur info on affirmitive actions.
hahah, Im just not sure if i should put on an application that Im caucasian or asian lol, since im both
