Hello,
Thank you for your time to read this page, I am in a phase of "what now", and its making me pretty stressful to think what i am suppose to for the future.
I am a recent college graduate who wants to pursue dentistry but my grades (under 3.0) isnt good enough to even apply. I did applied to some dental schools knowing i will get rejected but I happened to get accepted to a foreign dental school. I am excited yet i am super skeptical of going over seas and coming back to become a dentist in the states. With my gpa i would probably need to do more schooling here in the state and keep applying. (not sure how long it will take maybe 1 or 2 years, possibly get a master)
but if i go over sea i will studying dentistry and re doing dentistry here will gives me more experiences in terms of technique. the program over there is 4 years and towards the end my fourth year i can start applying to american dental school and have that smooth transition right after.
This wouldnt work if my grades arent good over seas but if i study my butt off. maybe ?
I thought maybe from dentists who are currently doing transition can give me an advice of rather to take this route.
Addition, oversea school starts in a month, where as extra schooling.. I would need to study for GRE and try to get into master's program/smp (using my dat) and have to wait an year since this cycle is over.
