Your health and disability by itself will not be a cause to exclude you but we want to know if your condition is managed and under control. You may need to have your cardiologist talk with a disability resource specialist about accommodations though.Since I was young I wanted to pursue dentistry. However I have health issues and am seriously scared how it may impact my chances of getting in. I have right heart failure. I have had two open heart surgeries and struggling health issues. I'm much better and in a stabilized condition. However because of my health issues, I get fatigued and get tired. Is it dental school possible for me or am I being too unreasonable? I do have a good gpa and currently studying for the DAT. Do dental schools give healthcare accommodations or should I ask for them? What should I do? If in the event I get interviews and am I asked about my health, what should I say? What if they ask if I get sick again what should I say? It is also the reason why doing my undergrad took little longer so I'm worried that might not look good.
However we can't give you any indication of your chances without your DAT score and other metrics.
