hello to whoever is reading this,
I have no-one to ask and I have till Dec. 15, 2021 to figure this out. I am in a masters program that requires a 3.2 to get an interview into their school, where over the last 6 months I really realized I wouldn't even want to go to that dental school if I got in because it is so unorganized and no-one is teaching. I spend 10+ hours a day studying and am barely getting an A. We teach our selves off of YouTube because the professors go off on tangents a majority of the class, when tbh we don't even have class time to waste. I picked a cheaper program because of my finances and now I'm regretting it. They just let us know that we have a week, during finals week, to get our application in, I was thinking I would do it over the break since I'd have time. I also just am getting better from the flu of 5 days.
I guess my question is, if I get less than a 3.2 should I quit this program and save thousands of dollars, or is it truly better to graduate with a degree that I feel like truly wouldn't even give me a job to fall back on. Won't a lower gpa hurt me? I'm on my 2nd year out of undergrad and I don't think I have the energy to go on and keep pursuing this, because I have people that need to be taken care of now not in xyz years. I retook my dat this past summer did get 20's and a 24 in a science, improved from 17/18s. my undergrad gpa from UF was a 3.3 sgpa and 3.5ish overall. tons of involvement, 3-5 jobs any given semester. my hearts in dentistry for the right reasons and to others it seems like I haven't done anything, but I can't start over from scratch. I guess if there's anyone out there that was in this situation, where their masters gpa was lower, I'd love an opinion or something.
