tahjo0211 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 I'm currently finishing off my 4th yr at UofT (downtown) and although I've been leaning towards going to the states due to my sub-standard GPA, I wondering if I have a reasonable chance at Canadian dental schools. Here's some relavent information about myself and any advice would be appreciated: cGPA: ~3.5 DAT: 25(BIO) ; 25(RC) ; 25(GC) ; 25(AA) ; 23(PAT) ; and 16(Carving) I have a Vancouver home address and I'm just here in Toronto for uni. I heard that I might be considered as "in province" for UBC.. but not sure... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tahjo0211 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Well, since I'll finish my 4th year by the time I apply... If I include my 4th year I guess my best 2 years would be ~3.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xman Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 3.7 is not good enough for ONT schools so your best bet is UBC since you are BC residence. Do the following: 1) Convert your marks to %ages ( I don't know the conversion chart for UBC) 2) Drop your worst year 3) Get the average of all the other 3 years then look at UBC website. They have the statistical data for their admitted classes for past 10 years. Look at the BC residence. I think if you have an 81%, then with your amazing DAT you are IN . If you have less than that, Don't bother. Apply to US with you amazing AA and PAT, apply to UOP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenius Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 u should apply to UBC, cant hurt to try. u have a good chance at top US universities (upenn, columbia, GPA might not be enough for harvard). so apply to both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
