premedschool Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Hello, I am a bit confused with "worst year dropped if 4 or more years". I am currently going into a second year in 2017 September. If I plan to apply for Dental school in the beginning of my third year (2018 September), will my third year % count towards it? Also, if I apply again in the beginning of my fourth year, will my fourth year % count towards the admission? And, will my lowest year drop? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DentalFoodie Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Assuming full course load in all four years your your lowest year will drop in fourth year. Third year % shouldn't count in third year as they won't see it when/if you interview but (correct me if I'm wrong) admission can me revoked if your third year GPA doesn't meet admission cut offs. This is the general practice from my experiences. What school are you referring to OP? Depending on the rest of the rules (beyond what you have quoted) it could be that you have to compete 4th year before any years are dropped.

dentalisc Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 If you apply after 4 years, they will take the 2 best years between year 1,2 and 3 into your GPA calculation (4th year grade will NOT be take into GPA calculation) If you apply after 3 years, automatically your 1st and 2nd year will be take into your GPA calculation.

Are you sure about this? It makes no sense to not include 4th year marks if you're applying when your 4th year is finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dentistry101 Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 you send the grades that you have. They will remove the grades from the lowest year if you're in 4th year or 5th or 6th or graduated etc. Only applying during your third year doesn't work like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premedschool Posted July 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 I see! Thank you everyone. So, what I understand is, If I start applying in my third year, they only evaluate me with my 1st/2nd year %. If I start applying in my fourth year, they only evaluate me with the best two years out of 1/2/3rd year at UBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
