Ok, I want peoples honest opinion if I can even get in to any dental school realistically or should I try to do a post-bac or just try to do optometry or something.
Overall GPA-3.24
Science Gpa- Like 3.16 or something, but hopefully higher after this semester.
Dat Score- I scored a 20 in each section.
Shadowing at a dentist office with 4 dentist-Over 60 hours. With all of them being on the LOR with 2 having attended UOP and NYU, one also teaches a class at UOP dental (can someone tell me if that plays any factor if say apply to either of those schools?)
I also tutored kids in my old neighborhood, but don't know how I can document that.
Worked full time at my Dads Pool Service company to help the family espically since my fathers Stroke.
(Both my grandparents died my first year. Grandma in September and Grandpa in November)
1st Semester-2.76 Pre-Req Physics I C+
2nd Semester - 9 Units 4.0 this semester Statistics A
3rd Semester 3.3 Pre Req Physics II B
4th Semester 3.0 Gen Chem B
(Gpa was starting to be ok, but father had a stroke during the summer so I was working for the family business even more)
5th Semester 2. 9 Gen Bio B+, Gen Chem II B-, O Chem B-
6th Semester (15 Units) 3.38 GPA Gen Bio II B+, O Chem I Lab A-, O Chem II B-, and Bio Sexuality A
7th Semester- (19 Units) 3.45 GPA Physiology A, Genetics B-, Endocrinology B+, Evolution B, Holistic Health A, Psych A
Last two semester my GPA is increasing so I don't know if they would take that into consideration. So do I have any shot. I know its not a good excuse about the losing grandparents or my dad being sick since I'm sure many applicants suffered through similar scenarios, but they did effect me greatly and my grades suffered because of it.
