Alternative Routes to Dental School?

[Untitled]

Hey guys,

I'm a recent graduate from a undergraduate program in Canada and my GPA isn't too good (2.8-3.0). I'd really like to pursue a career in dentistry but my low GPA is holding back me back in terms of application. I'm trying to figure out a way to improve my application particularly my GPA. I'm considering a Masters program in Pharmacology or Management, Dental Assisting or Dental Hygiene college program, or science-related post-bac courses at my local university, or Online Masters program in Health Sciences, or Dentistry Internships overseas? I'm really not sure which path would be best.
ANY helpful information would be great.

Thanks

Applying as an International student I hear is VERY difficult. You'll most certainly need to do a graduate program to be competitive and to boost your GPA. How was your DAT?

DO NOT DO ANYTHING OVERSEAS. It will not help. Do the postbacc or the masters in pharmacology. Do not do the online thing if you can avoid it. You need to show success in a science heavy curriculum.
Good luck!
