hi there fellow pre-dents
I really need some advice because I am at a point in my life where I feel there really are no more second chances...
I am a 24 year old Canadian asian guy.
I am in my 6th year in university in a science major that will get me no where just on its own.
I applied back in June of 2013, with a cGPA 3.2 sGPA 3.0 bcpGPA 3.0 with DAT 20AA, 19TS, 18BIO, 17RC, 22gCHEM, 22oCHEM, 24PAT (second attempt)
I got no interviews...
right now, I am wondering if its all worth it to try again.
I mean, I really really do want to become a dentist, and it is not just because of the salary
I am passionate about it.
BUT realistically speaking, I feel like I need to do 2 more years of university to bring my GPA up and attempt the DAT for the third time.
I am looking far into the future and by the time I am done with everything, I will 31, with 500K debt.
I am wondering if it is all worth it...I am considering a career change but every time I think about this, I feel I let myself down because I really do want to become a dentist.
If you were in my shoes, how would you plan my future for the next few years?
I would appreciate some good advice. Thanks.
