Hello all! Great forum, tons of info and resources here. Thanks to all contributors. Need some advice on my current situation.
I am a 28yr old non-traditional student who graduated in 06 with a BS in Health Science. Graduated with honors and a 3.01 GPA, member of health club and honor society. I did the corporate sales thing for a couple years then decided it wasn't my gig. I have moved back to SC and I currently work as a dental technician with my father who owns the business. I am currently shadowing some of the Dentists we work for and I absolutely want to be a DMD. I started to take my Science pre-reqs (Chem 1&2, Bio 1&2) last fall and I currently have a 3.5. I should finish out with an A in Bio and B in Chem.
I am taking Orgo 1&2 this summer and Physics 1&2 in fall/spring ('11/'12). Throw in Biochem and Microbiology with that Physics course load as well. I am planning on taking the DAT following Orgo 2. This will be around late July, early August. Will this later application be detrimental to my chances for acceptance? Can I apply early without taking my DAT and required course work? I am applying to MUSC, Medical College of Georgia and probably UNC.
One more question, I need to get an A in orgo 1&2 to up my GPA, what resources to everyone use to ace this class?
Any help would be great guys, thanks a ton. This site is very motivational!
