Hi everyone. I 'm new to SDN and this is my first post. I graduated with a BS in biology 2 years ago. I have been working ever since. I am a father of 2 kids, and 26 years old. I am interesting in going into the dentistry field. I have not yet take the DAT, but I am lookig into that right now. Because my GPA is very low, overall 2.84 same as Science, I was thinking about doing a post-bac but one of my friends told me to take the DAT and apply for Dental school. What should I do. I know that my GPA is not competitive enough, even though I got above 20 on the DAT, I will not get accept to dental school. Please HELP...I'm totally lost..
