Hey everyone.
So little background:
I'm a Canadian citizen applying to US schools in this upcoming cycles. (Mostly private schools)
I attended two universities. One for my first and second year, and another one for my third and fourth(current)
My first year of university I was dealing with severe medical conditions and that reflected on my marks. I got my health in check and got my **** together starting the second year:
First year GPA: 2.0
Second year GPA: 3.7
Third year GPA: 3.92
Fourth year GPA: 3.85
This brings my cGPA = 3.27, Science Gpa = 3.45
After my first year, like you see, all my marks went up. I got low marks/failed a couple science courses in my first year, but after that, its all A+'s
i got straight A's for all prerequisite courses for most dental schools:
Organic Chemistry 95%
Physics 98%
English 88%
Physiology 89%
Biochem 96%
Microbiology 96%
I have 600+ Shadowing hours at 2 different clinics that serve underserved communities, no research, one dental mission abroad.
I'm starting a job soon at a dental clinic under the position of a "dental sterilization/floater"
I'm taking the DAT at the end of May. If I hypothetically get a 20-23, what are my chances to get in given the info above?
how can I improve my application?
Should I apply with my current stats? or should I just take an extra year, not disclose my attendance to the first university, and just apply next year using my second university transcript? since my cGPA would be around 3.8ish and sGPA would be around the same 3.8 mark.
Please help 🙁
