Nice job Alex! I hope you enjoy dental school. One thing that struck me about your stats that you posted was that you had 3 years at 3.5 and 1 year at 4.0. This is essentially completing a 4 year degree. The bothersome part of it to me is that you only just then broke 3.0 cum. It seems like there should be a limit to how many credits AADSAS should count toward your GPA to allow people like you to show the adcoms a more accurate description of your capabilities as a potential dental student (the objective of admissions). I guess what i'm suggesting is that really really old credits would fall off when more than 5 years of course work has been done to allow the applicant to make a more serious impact on there gpa. I'm not suggesting this be a function of time but rather additional course work completed.
