Hi, this is my first forum post ever. Very excited. So I am nervous about my chances of getting into dental school along with getting a USAF HPSP scholarship. I will include my WAMC template at the bottom of this post. I know my stats are not the greatest with my AA being 20 and my GPA/SGPA being 3.7/3.5 but I did take my DAT during the peak of COVID, have studied and been a full time student during the pandemic, and have a lot of shadowing, assistance, and time working in the dental field along with strong ECs. Reading everyone's posts on this forum makes me anxious and nervous about my chances but I figure a good way to face that anxiety and gain a better understanding of where I stand would be by asking for other's opinions who have or are going through the same process. Please let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions!
