Sooooo, I talked to my pre-dental advisor about a dental school and she told me that I pretty much have no chance, which is true, but it hurts more when I hear from somone rather than I assume.
Yes, my gpa is 2.65 and my science gpa is around 2.6.
But, I still haven't given up. I never will.
I might not be able to get into a dental school forever. But, I will keep trying.
I took practice DAT from Kaplan and I got a decent score and I see there is a chance.
I think my problem in past 5 semesters is taking too many honors science courses. This semester, I am taking Biology, Organic chemistry, Ecology, Immunology, and Physics (full classload). It's my fault not to study hard for those classes and to be sick during the school semester, but I wished that I took a couple hard classes and other mediocre classes instead.
So, I changed my plan for next semester. Instead of taking all the heavy science courses without any preparation, I will take a couple hard science classes and take social science classes or some classes that I am interested in so that I have more time to prepare for hard science classes and get closer to acheive the admission ticket.
Fellow pre-dental students who are not doing well in school right now, don't give up and let's do this. Forget what you had in past 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 or more years. Think you as a freshman and restart together! Well, that's what I am gonna do, at least!
