you need way more schools
uop is a huge reach...

ok, can you recommend any. I can't apply to UDM because my overall science is sub 3.0

I feel like with your masters you should be able to? Have you reached out to them and asked? It might be worth your while to do so.

I would also look into Marquette, NYU, Temple, Lecom, Creighton, ASDOH, MW-AZ

Since you're a 3rd-time reapplicant, you're going to have to apply to a ton of schools. Can't really beat around that bush. I'd say 15 minimum

Yep I contacted them.
this was their response.

 

[Ryxndek]

Makes sense, I agree you have to include everything. But even though your undergrad is low, your master's seems okay. Which should help offset your undergrad GPA. Though it's not calculated together, if your courses are done it should help. Is your masters in biomed sciences?

My masters is simply in biology

How were your Casper scores?

How were your Casper scores?

I'm planning to retake it. They were poor because I couldn't type and communicate well.
The salt in the wound is that my mother just walked up to me in the middle of my recording interview and just started talking to me.

Marquette has a max community college credits of 45
Applying to NYU
Temple has a max of 6(?) . Maybe its a typo for 60, however according to DSE they don't say they accept community college.
Lecom is kinda out of my league but if memory serves me right they are a jesuit school, so perhaps I do have a chance but I doubt.
Creighton can't, I have a few bio and chem community college classes which they don't accept (but they do accept physics for some reason)
Applying to ASDOH

seems like you've done your research, just keep looking at schools. You may have to look all over to find schools that fit you app

LECOM is not religiously affiliated as far as I know.

What feedback have you received from your committee, especially given your last cycles?

I think the GoDental Virtual Fair is coming up, so you should make sure you attend. Figure out the 2-3 most important questions you want answered there or to welcome more private follow-up.
