Hello everyone -- I found an online excel sheet where I could input all my grades in the courses I've taken at my university, and it tells me my science GPA, BCP GPA and overall GPA (according to how AADSAS commutes your GPA). Anyway, I have included grades of courses that I am taking this semester. I am debating between taking 17.5 credits or 14.5 credits -- I am debating between the two mainly because I am going to be shadowing, volunteering and studying for the DAT this semester, too.
Anyway: my predicted GPAs with 14.5 credits:
BCP: 3.06
Science: 3.05
Overall: 3.38
My predicted GPAs with 17.5 credits:
BCP: 3.06
Science: 3.11
Overall: 3.39
My main concern is the science GPA -- a 3.11 definitely looks better than a 3.05 when I look at it. My question is -- would it really make a difference or be viewed as the essentially the same thing? I feel like dental schools would want the higher science GPA, too. This extra class that's making the difference between a 3.05 and a 3.11 is relatively easy, too, but I would rather not spend the extra few hours a week doing work for it when I don't really need to. PLEASE HELP. Add/drop for me ends in <23 hours. Thank you!
