dumbgirl 0 Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) What are my chances of getting into a Canadian dental school? I messed up my grades first and second year; first year GPA: 9.5 (B+) and second year GPA: 10.3 (A-) (based on McMaster 12.0 system) I have many EC's involving university clubs and events, and will be volunteering at a hospital soon. I will be writing the DAT this summer as well. Would getting a 3.9-4.0 in my last two years help me get a chance at dental school or should I do a 5th year to boost my GPA? I was thinking about also applying to american schools but I am not sure if I want to be in $500k + debt. Honestly feeling hopeless at this point.

Zaandrei. 93 Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 You will need to do really well in the last two years and wait a year so that your final year will count toward schools which take only the best two years. Doing a 3rd year will allow you to apply to more schools which drop your worst year. Those two years so far will not get you in Ontario; maybe the rest of Canada, I'm not up to date with the stats anymore... Roam around the forums - you will see what people are getting accepted in with... you can get a good sense of the ball park you should be in dumbgirl 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
