I really want to be a dentist, but...

[CanI?]

Hello, Fellow SDNers!
Thank all of SDNers for great information!

My GPA- 2.65 (due to 5-6 repeated courses)
and later transffered GPA-3.54
Overall ~3.1 (Science: 3.1)
Currently Shadowing & Volunteering
DAT not yet! (will take Nov. for 2007 cycle)

1) Is it possible for me to get in ANY dental school? I’ve seen GPAs over 3.3~3.4 for most dental school mean GPAs.

2) How GOOD DAT score do I have to get?

3) What schools should I apply?

Thank you for reading my message. Any comments will be appreciated.
I hope every SDNers get into Dental school SOME DAY!

It's possible. Try to do well in your classes, and shoot for 18+ on your DAT. Don't give up.

Agree...But, the general rule: The lower the GPA's, the higher you want to score on DAT.
