As you are hopefully aware before even applying for the dental school at Nova Southeastern University, the program will require your official transcripts. Since they likely have already seen your GPA, your interviewers pose this question to hear if you are satisfied with your current GPA or if you would change it if you could.

"I feel that my GPA could have been higher during my undergraduate program; I wanted a 4.0. I was working an almost full-time schedule while attending. However, I learned a lot about discipline, time management, and commitment and am ready to continue to apply these skills at the Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine."

"My current GPA is a fair reflection of my above-average ability in pre-dental coursework. You will see that my basic science GPA is even higher than my overall GPA, which suggests my abilities within this field. I know that the academic side will get a lot tougher in dental school, and I'm ready for that challenge here at Nova Southeastern University."

Talk to the interviewers about your undergraduate GPA openly and honestly. If you were satisfied with your GPA, talk about the hard work and dedication you put into it and reiterate that you would bring this same work ethic to Nova Southeastern University. Conversely, if you were not satisfied with your GPA, talk about where you feel you could have improved and how you will use this lesson once you enter dental school. Make sure to sound like you are not making excuses.
