How To Get Into Dental School With a Low GPA (2.97)

Hey guys! Here's a video on how to get into dental school with a low GPA. I'll be completely honest, this is the video I needed 4 years ago! So now, I'm here to pass the knowledge I've gathered on to the next generation. If you're struggling with grades and losing hope about getting into dental school, watch my video so you can get some insight on how to go about applying to dental school with a low GPA! In the video I talk about how I went about solving this problem and I go over stats from BU, NYU, Columbia, Howard, and University of Maryland, to discuss the possibility of applying with a low GPA (even under 3.0)!

I got in with a 3.07 cGPA & 2.72 sGPA without a masters or postbac. I HIGHLY recommend applying the first day the app opens. Try to complete everything during the “soft opening” - have your LOR, transcripts and DAT scores in by then. The earlier you submit, the better chances you have.

Just got into 2 schools and my GPA was significantly lower than their average acceptance. My biggest advice would be to take a hard look at the application and come up with MEANINGFUL experiences for everything they will ask about: volunteering, dental experience/shadowing, research, extracurriculars, working. Having quality stories and experiences goes farther than the number of things you did. You need to come across as unique on paper and not just another bio major ESPECIALLY if your GPA/DAT scores are below their average. Good luck everyone!

I know this is about dental school but this is the motivation i need thank you!!! I am going to apply to a straight to phd program and my gpa is not at all good. I am trying to re take classes on classes i didnt do so good and secure internships! Congratulations!!!

Thank you for this video! I will be submitting applications this coming cycle and have been self doubting whether I'll get accepted anywhere at all. Most applications I've seen emphasized that they go through a holistic process, so that makes me feel a little better about applying. Everyone is more than just their grades! Everyone has a story to tell. Thanks again for sharing your experience.

Thank you, my GPA is a 3.6, sGPA 3.7 but I have like 7 Ws on my transcripts due to medical issues in the past . And 3 of them due to the pandemic . I’ll be applying next cycle so I hope I get in 😩

Thank you for breaking this down for other applicants like myself.

This really helped me. I emailed Meharry to see if a math class I took would be accepted and decided to tell them my stats just to see where my standing is and how I can look better and they told me that I’m not competitive right now & that’s not what I need😭😭😭💔 so thank you

thankkk youuu I got my first C as a freshman in bio 2! and I literally cried because I studied sooo much and I am terrible at science. the professor made no sense and gave us 5 exams through the semester and about 4 assignments and I am literally bad at test taking the only reason I do good is homework and he gave us almost nothing.

Hey, I came across this video. It gave me hope. Did you complete all of your science courses to apply. Would you recommend me talking all the basic required science courses to apply to dental school?

[kawanglover]

Quality video. I got a 2.9 as well haha

[KI-wzpr]

[jadebeautxx]

[Messifan]

Do you recommend on taking physics? since I can take 9 out of 12 requirements physics was one and I had other options but I don't know should I take it?

[JayS-yt]
