So i'm a Jr. with a 3.7 gpa overall, and somewhere around there for my science gpa, and got a 20-21-20 AA-TS-PAT on the DAT with a 24 RC. I have about 80 hrs shadowing, 300 hours volunteering, 200ish hours research, have 2 minors (Buissness/chem) preceptored 2 classes, done some small clinical stuff with USC dental school and a couple of other smaller things.
Thats my resume, so I feel pretty good about my chances of getting into a dental school. Now, what i'm worried about is my high school dual enrollment credits bringing my GPA way down. I wasn't very motivated in high school and got several dual enrollment comm college C's. With all these C's on that transcript, it'll probably bring my gpa down to a 3.5. I know that i've shown gradual improvement over the years, but how will dental schools respond to this? To everyone out there worrying about a similar situation or anyone with answers, please do share. Thanks again SDN'ers for everything!
Edit: anyone also have an idea as to what schools I should apply to in the sense of middle to upper schools if i have a chance? or should I just stick w/ the middle to lower schools
