Hello everyone,
So my final 3 semesters of undergrad I pulled out an average of 3.5 gpa (3.0 scgpa) but that only averages my scgpa to a 2.7 and my cum to a 3.0. I plan on taking the DAT and achieving a score around 21-22 hopefully. My main question is what are my chances of getting into a dental school, more specifically Boston University or Tufts University DSchool. The reason for a low GPA in my earlier years was I began my college career with 2 very close deaths in the family the first 2 years and am wondering if this would help my case significantly if it is mentioned. I have shadowed a GD for approximately 50 hours and can obtain plenty of recommendations from professors and dentists. I was told I should consider working as a dental assistant for my year off and applying to schools. I am not sure what to do but my ultimate goal is making it into DSchool and need some guidance on the most effective path.
Thank you.
