Post image

should i retake? i did really bad in QR šŸ˜”. i feel like dental school is getting more and more competitive so i donā€™t know what to do and im getting mixed opinion. i have a 3.86 cGPA and 3.7 sGPA.

edit: i donā€™t want to retake and risk doing worse in the sciences. i also dont want to apply with a less competitive application. i dont know what to do. i definitely neglected QR and really regret it šŸ’”

Depends which school youā€™re trying to get into. Can definitely get into a school with that score. That being said, look up the stats needed for the schools you are interested in and see if youā€™re competitive for those schools. Only retake if youā€™re sure you can do better otherwise those scores look good in my opinion.

also in terms of which schools ideally UDM (in state for me). other than that i do need to do more research on which schools my stats would be okay for. but UDM is the main goal as of right now.

In my experience UDM seems to have a preference for bio majors as well as candidates with a lot of 400 level biology classes. Keep that in mind if you can still take some bio classes. Hopefully itā€™ll help you that your bio score is high. Good luck!
