besides research skills (that I probably won't ever need again) and getting better at reading scientific papers, not really lol. but the experience was still worthwhile
would you say the same thing if I have 3.2 overall and 3.1 science? I am just cutting over the cutline but I haven't been told that I would need to do post bacc but I wanted to hear ur opinion thank you
Hey! Really sorry for the late response. At the end of the day, it depends on what the rest of your application looks like. I can't tell you because it depends on each person and I'm no admissions officer. Is it possible to get into dental school with those stats? Absolutely, I know people who have. However, other things like a strong DAT score, extracurriculars, etc. could have helped as well.
You're welcome. When I applied, it was 3.0 but they made exceptions. I didn't have 3.0 but I still got in. I'd suggest checking out whatever it says on their website now
where did you go for your post bacc? I'm a premed student at College Park as well and I'm considering a post-bacc. I see that UMD college park offers a bost bacc, would you recommend that?
hey, i don't know anything about UMD post-bacc, but I did mine at George Squared. alot of UMD alum go there. check it out on Google, let me know if you have any questions about it
Nice to see you in the comments bro. Hope you're doing well. I would recommend ones that have good reputations with getting students into dental school. Definitely ask around, but a few I know of are G Squared (where I did mine), MHS at Meharry, OHS at BU, Barry MS Program, and Mississippi College.
Hey Eli, thanks for the video. I have a 3.7 GPA former med student looking into applying to Dental school instead now this year. I haven't taken the DAT and don't have specific dental experiences. Do you suggest I do a postbacc or should I just study the DAT and work on dental experiences?
Don't need dental experience. Just study for & take the DAT, and do some shadowing in a dental office. You have plenty of time to do that and apply this year. A postbacc would be a waste of money for you
How was your experience working at the NIH? Did you gain any skills or knowledge that helped you in grad school?

Thank you for the information. Is there a GPA requirement for G Squared?

Can you do a post bacc & a masters degree?
Yes
Thanks for responding can you do it at the same time?
@susej3545 idk. It doesn't really make sense to be doing both at the same time

@@StudentDoctorEli Thank you! Also is it possible to get a full ride tuition in dental school?
@@StudentDoctorEli Also I realized in my original comment, I meant former premed not former medstudent lol
