Hello, I'm new here and I just need some advice about raising my science GPA and whether if Dental School looks into being in the Dean's List for long periods of time. I'm a Bio-Tech major and I just finished my last semester as a college sophomore and I had a 3.41 GPA with an Overall GPA of 3.2 (First-Semester of college was really rough on me due to health issues).
I was in the Dean's List last semester (with a 3.7) and I had put in the same efforts in my classes for this semester while healing from surgery, but if it weren't for a C+ in Pre-Calculus, I would've been in the Dean's List again. I'm trying to show a gradual improvement since I know that's what Dental Schools like to see. However, since my science GPA isn't as high as I'd want it to be for now, should I retake Pre-Calculus? I'm afraid of not doing well in Calculus I if I don't have a strong Pre-Calculus background. Should I withdrawal from the class and write a reason why I want that class to be taken out? Or should I just keep pushing forward?
