nounours_l0l Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Hey everyone, i finished my DMD last May with a terrible 3.3 gpa (i had a 3.5 but it dropped quite a lot due to not being able to finish clinical requirements due to the whole Covid thing.. which is very annoying as it wasn’t my fault at all!) i had 75 credit in my undergrad with a 4.28/4.3 gpa. if i calculated both gpa together, it gives me only 3.56/4.3 (haven’t calculated out of 4 but it will be lower). i guess my CV is strong (research, hospital dentistry, working as a dentist, lots of volunteering and ECs) what should i do to boost my chance at mcgill? I know right now even with an amazing casper i won’t even get an interview. Could the mcat help? Is there any way or should i just not bother (which is fine, i’d rather know) I will be applying all over quebec (i’m IP) but i know my chance are close to 0 AND even worst at mcgill as they do not considered programs difficulty (and i’m biased but dmd is hard and grading is super subjective) thanks a lot!

Premedstudent0307 Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 I don't think the mcat has much of a role at all at McGill anymore. The other french schools look at program difficulty which would work in your favor (since I assume dentistry is quite difficult), so you might stand a chance at those.

Clown_MD Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Hi there, I'm simply curious; why the change of heart after the DMD program ? MD here. I was once in a DMD program, switched with a gpa of 3.7, but sometimes, I wish I should've stayed... Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
