What is an acceptable grade point average (GPA)?
A GPA of about 3.0 or better is considered to be acceptable. A GPA of 4.0 by itself is not considered to be that important. The important thing is to avoid grades of C or lower. It is especially important to avoid earning C grades in chemistry. You are also urged to carry a full load of 15 to 18 hours in each semester. (Dental School students spend more than 25 hours per week in the classroom and laboratory).
