Dental What if my grades are suffering after interviews?

[Mr.Smile12]

I am a senior, 3.77 gpa currently, but not for much longer. I have interviewed at 2 dental schools, one in oct. one in nov. My grades are currently suffering in this covid world. I have struggled tremendously with my physics, microbiology, and developmental biology class and if I make it out with all B's I'll be lucky. If the dental schools find out I've done poorly this semester will it blow any shot I have?

Tough to say here. What have they told you?

Depends on how much they liked you and where you were on their “like” list

It's school dependent. Some are happy to rescind and application and acceptance for poor grades but B's? I really doubt that'll even get a second take.

Agree...if you flat out bombed your entire semester then maybe...

Congrats on your interviews! Hopefully you'll get positive news in about 10 days! As for grades, as long as you get a C or above in all of those classes, you should hopefully be okay with the schools you have already interviewed at (as long as one of them isn't Stony Brook I believe - I think they require Bs or higher), but schools that have yet to interview you may be a little weary. Just really try your best and not let your GPA fall.

Thanks, just wanted a little peace of mind. Final grades post this week, but so far I've made it out with an A in micro and a B in developmental bio, we will see how physics rolls out.

You should be good. Especially with those first two grades.
