I am 40 years old applicant and I have plan to apply for dental school this coming June.I came here in U.S 5 years ago as a refugee with my family.In my country of origin I had no right to access higher education due to restrictions against religious minorities. When I came here I decided to peruse path to dentistry .Despite all difficulties and barriers I started from scratch I mean undergraduate level without pervious higher education.I almost done with my undergrad as a cell biology major.I took my DAT recently OC 22- GC 20- Bio 21- RC 21- PAT 18- QR 17. My GPA is 3.9 and 3.7 science GPA.BUT there is a problem .I don't have any dental experience or even shadowing here because always I had to work full time and study full time to take care of my family here .Do you think I am a good applicant despite lack of dental experience ? I just have to mention that I have some shadowing in my country but it is about more than 20 years ago when I was in high school
