For now, try to improve your cGPA and sGPA to at least a ~3.2 range.

Hey, I graduated from NCSU, and had a sGPA ~3.0, ended up doing a 1 yr Masters since the sGPA has to be a bit higher since dental school is so competitive. D-schools wanna see a good GPA. In addition, a few schools will look at the upward trend, especially if you do real well in graduate school.

Just my 2 cents but I think you should go the Masters route. You already have a good DAT score, just do a 1 yr masters, kill it, and BAM, you should be golden. Look into UMDNJ Masters of Biomedical Sciences program (I went there - stratford campus) but there is one at Newark too. Also Mississippi College has a Masters program.

Good luck!
