I am 23 years old from the US, I have about 1 semester more until I graduate with my degree in Computer Science. I decided that CS just isn't for me and I want to be a dentist.
Here is a little bit of my background, I would sometimes shadow my uncle that had his own practice when I was younger and really enjoyed the work he did. I currently run my own mobile mechanic business as well as work as a carpenter on the side and love helping individuals with their problems and seeing their satisfaction afterwards. Ever since I was younger I always wanted to be a dentist, but was discouraged since I never had the greatest teeth growing up. Now that I'm older I wish I picked a program that lead into the medical field.
Educational background: I have a low GPA of 2.8, prereqs I've taken so far including their marks are,:
Taken:
Gen Chem1 C+
English 8 Credits A-
Physics 1 B-
Physics 2 A-
Needed:
Gen Chem2 With Lab
Organic Chem1
Organic Chem2
Biology1
Biology2
From this moment foreword what should I do to increase my chances to get into a dental school? My sole purpose in life right now is to become a dentist.
Thank you
