Smileplease Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfly_ Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Just to clarify, are you saying that you’re dropping a course because you got 3.9 in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentistrydmd Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 I wouldn't drop a course this late in the game. It will show up on your transcript. Having an average of 3.90 for one semester isn't the end of the world. U of T only uses your top three years if I'm not mistaken. What year are you in?

It is pretty rare to be accepted after third year. Don't worry it isn't the end of the world if you don't get in after third year. Just keep the grades up and you will be fine. It is better to have an easier time not stressing out too much. It sounds like you are on a good path so far.

Other courses are 4.0 for now You are setting yourself up for a lot of anxiety in regards to your grades if you think having 3.9 in one course is bad... speaking from experience. A 3.9 in one class will definitely not decrease your chances of getting into dental school. I had a pretty low GPA (cGPA was around 3.2 and wGPA around 3.9) and got accepted this year, so don’t lose hope. And dropping a course at this point in the semester, especially because you are expecting a 3.9, is a very bad idea! Keep working hard! The semester is almost over dentistrydmd and Smileplease 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
