What should I do?

[harry1990h]

Hello everyone,

I'm a senior in university and have overall gpa: 3.5 and science gpa: 3.4
I'm about to graduate and scared that my gpa is really bad for dental schools! I need advises of things I should do and how is my gpa look. The only thing I want to do is being a dentist and I don't want to lose that goal in my life. Please help me with your comments! Thank you

No, don't be. Your GPAs are fine!

Did you take the DAT again? DAT scores, extracurriculars and shadowing all also play a role

Your GPA looks fine for admissions. As said above, there is more to the application than your GPA and assuming you have put some work into those things, you should be fine.

I'd focus on studying for the DAT now - especially the RC section. Your grammar astounds me.

your gpa is just fine, its just around the average so dont freak out!
Do really good on your DAT aim for nothing less than a 20 ....and get some meaningful shadowing and volunteerin in, your volunteering and extracurriculars will make you stand out so chose something that really inerests you and means something to you, especially non-medical/dental related

Thank you everyone. I'm taking a year break and planning on taking the DAT at the coming fall. I will also start volunteering starting this summer.
