When I was doing my undergrad, I did not care at all about school. It took me along time to graduate and when I finally did, I graduated with a 2.6 gpa I received my associated and bachelors degree in Dental Hygeine. I worked as a hygienist for 2 years and love it. I love it so much that I want to go to a professional school.
Right now I am taking Bio, Chem, Physics and I am doing well in those 3 courses. I want to know what chances are of getting into a Dental or DO program. Do I even have a chance? Should I keep taking requirements and maintain a high post-grad gpa or should I enroll in a post-bacc program? Does it help I worked in the health-care field for 2 years? I realize high DAT or MCAT scores will offset my poor gpa a bit but I want to do whatever increase my chances of getting in.
Please help me. I am so confused! I am worried that the amount of time it took me to graduate and my low gpa will hold me back. Any advice would be greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
