Hello!
I am currently a junior, biology major in a very demanding engineering school. My current GPA is a 3.3. In my second and third semesters of under grad, I made some poor grades (D in Inorganic, D in Bio2, 2 Cs in organic chem and C in calculus II) which brought my GPA down. However, in the past 4 semesters (summers included) I have had mostly A's and a few Bs. My GPA improved from a 2.7 to a 3.3 and I still have 2 more semesters to go until graduation.
Originally I was on the pre-medical track however I would not mind being a dentist either - I have shadowed a dentist and I liked what I saw as well. I have plenty of volunteering in underserved hospitals, I have lots of shadowing experience with a few different doctors (although I am not sure if this would help for a dental school application), I have been involved a few clubs at my university where I have leadership positions.
Other than the bad grades listed above, I have made B's in both physics (which are considered very hard at my university), A's in classes like microbiology, evolutionary science, biochemistry, synthesis lab, cell biology and other biology courses I've taken.
I need to also mention that I do not have a green card yet - in the process right now.
What are my chances of getting in with my current GPA ?
Please help!
