Commuted my entire undergrad career at a 4 year university. Suffered from mild depression and turned towards Online interactions to remedy my otherwise lacking real life social experience. This caused my grades to plummet. Graduated in 2013 and started my informal post bacc in Spring 2014, my head was a lot clearer now that I managed to recover from my "mental block".
oGPA: 2.65
sGPA: 2.72

I have around 22 credit hours of informal post bacc currently with A's in BioChem, Immunology and Cell Biology (all upper division science courses)
Shadowing: >100 hours at a Dental Practice (I shadowed back in 08, 09, 11 and was offered a job in 12 as a dental assistant)
Shadowing: >100 hours at an Ortho Practice
Volunteer: Volunteered at Dental School clinic
Work-Experience: Working as a dental assistant since 2012, >1000 hours.

I'm hopeful that my GPA won't KILL ME and my other stuff will sort of "balance" it enough to at least not rule me out of the running.
I know my DAT is not 99%tile, and is only a little better than "average" but I was just curious about my chance this cycle. I'm not expecting "Apply and you're guaranteed at least one acceptance". I know that's not in my cards, but as long as I can rest assured that most schools won't "auto reject me" I can cope sort of.
I just want a chance to prove my change in demeanor in an interview and show that my lackluster UGPA doesn't define me.
I plan on taking a few more classes this upcoming Fall, upper division retakes and such.
Also I'm from NY and I plan on applying ASAP, submitted before July.
