Dealing with Dental School Rejection.

Hi everyone. In light of investigating all I could about the dental profession, especially from this newsgroup, my goal of becoming a dentist, at least this year, will unfortunately be to no avail. Despite an interview at Columbia University, I guess a 2.7 GPA in the sciences will not make it in these competitive times for I had just received the dreaded thin letter. My question to all is how does one perceive me reapplying? Last year, I applied quite late - coupled with my po...

Best distance education in Canada ?

Please give me suggestions regarding which Canadian university offers the most "recognized, valued, accredited, etc." degrees through distance education.Check the University of Waterloo...
