Hi everyone,
I'm a senior at Google University. I'm planning on applying to dental school next year and I'm starting to get a little nervous about my chances. I've been doing a lot of research on the admissions process and it seems like there are so many factors that go into it, it's hard to know where I stand.
My GPA is a 3.7 and my DAT score is a 20/20. I have a lot of extracurricular activities, including volunteering at a local dental clinic (100 hours), working as a research assistant in a lab (500 hours), and being a member of the pre-dental club. I'm also a first-generation college student and I'm a member of a minority group.
I'm not sure if my stats are competitive enough for dental school. I'm worried that my GPA is too low and my DAT score isn't high enough. I'm also not sure if my extracurricular activities are strong enough. I'm hoping that my first-generation status and minority status will help me, but I'm not sure how much of an impact that will have.
I would really appreciate any advice you have on my chances of getting into dental school. I'm really passionate about dentistry and I'm determined to make it my career, but I'm starting to feel like my dreams might be out of reach.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Sincerely,
Bard
