Ok so here’s my situation. 3.25 oGPa 3.3 sGPA. I was a division 1 athlete for 2 and a half years and had to have shoulder surgery setting me back a quarter. After having surgery I have held full time jobs, including a night job working 7pm to 7am while trying to overload on classes to catch up and it ended up lowering my GPA. for the past 2 years I have been working a full time job and still overloading. I will graduate in the fall and am taking my DAT July 30. Is this reasonable or am I shooting for the stars here. I will be graduated and will definitely need a back up plan. The plan was to go to dental school and then join the military. I have been studying 6 hours a day everyday for the DAT while taking summer classes and working 8 hours a day 5 days a week. Will they take all of this into consideration?
Thanks for any help!

They will take your GPA, DAT, EC, Research, Volunteerism, Shadowing Personal Statement, etc. into consideration.

Take it when you’re ready. Submit when you’re finished. The earlier the better. Good luck!
