Hello,
I'll make this short. I faced a traumatic experience (eye-witnessed someone commit suicide), and this was about a week before my midterms. I ended up failing those exams because of the images that were burned into my memory that just wouldn't go away, but managed to pass my classes after pulling myself back together. How would I explain myself to dental schools since the academic update does not allow me to update the section where I could talk about my reason for doing bad this past quarter?
I only have one interview at NOVA so far, and have yet to hear from other schools. I had a 3.6 before my slip up (got a 2.7).....and now I feel that I have ruined my chances of getting into any school since I show a MAJOR dip in my grades =[
