Does retaking courses look bad on the transcript? and how about the gpa? I have emailed them already - waiting for the response but doesn't hurt to ask here too :) I have some courses that i could do better on than what i did in fall, so i was thinking of retaking them in the summer..

So im kinda confused as to how this works do they drop your lowest year if you have finished 4 years at the time of applying? Or is it that if you apply in your third year (since you will finish 4 years and then go to dental school) they will drop one lowest year? thanks!!!

this is my second year.. but i really wanted to have a chance to apply next year this is why i'm kinda nervous now..

i'm sure that i wont be able to get 90+ in it. so no 4.0. the best i can get is like 3.9 but it might end up being an A- which is a 3.7..... idk what to do

So, I'm a pre-dental student at UofT, and really am working hard to get into uoft dental school as well - in my third year hopefully. One of the courses I have will def bring my avg for this semester down from 4.0 to 3.9 (For that course). Do you know whether or not it'll look bad to drop a course n retake it in the summer? Should i just Cr/Ncr it? or should I just keep going with it and not bother? P.s. Other courses are 4.0 for now

Thank youu! Hopefully i will be able to keep it!!

you literally gave me the energy i need for the rest of this year... :)))) i really hope your support comes back to you in some way. Thank you!!!

Thank you! I did! I also checked the posts here.. seems like a good GPA is around 3.93 and above for dentistry. But they also got accepted on 4th year. I have a 3.92 OMSAS for my first year idk if it’s high enough :(( i’m increasing it a bit this year too!

So, i really want to apply to UofT, but i’m so confused by what they mean by “completion of 3 years of studies” i’m in my second year now. Does that mean if i get all the prereq courses by the end of this year, i can do DAT and send my application the upcoming summer/fall? And if i get accepted i will drop my 4th year and start in dental school instead? thank you!!!! :)
