You will get into dental school!

You pretty much have the same grades I had. I also crammed 200 hours into one semester and I had 300 volunteer hours over 3 years. I also had a bunch of pre pharmacy stuff on my app

OTHER NOTES:
* I also have a C+ in 4th semester spanish (same semester I took biochem)
* I will be taking gen chem 2 w/ both gen chem labs after I graduate as I could not fit it into my schedule
* Overall GPA: 3.52
* Extracurriculars:
-2 years as a pharmacy clerk at a hospital
- pre-pharmacy club (1 year)- was considering pharm before
- pre-dental club (1.5 years)
- I will be cramming the 100 hours of shadowing into my last semester (does this look bad? I really didn't have a choice here )
- 1 year as a Board member of a historical dorm (I spend around 10 hours a week in this role)
- 20 hours of volunteering (I plan on volunteering more before graduation)
- various orchestras and other musical ECs
- I am tutoring bio and psych during my last semester


I had a few bad semesters due to being in a 2 very emotionally abusive relationships (which really took its toll. They were not relationships I could simply get out of and they were both extremely controlling) so I now have 3 C+'s on my transcript that I would not have had otherwise I know I should probably not mention this on my applications as they want you to be positive. So I worry that I don't have a chance at dental school based on my grade breakdown, however it is my dream career. Could you please give me your opinions on my chances (please be honest)? Thank you so very much in advance!

Did you end up getting in?
