Failed Elective?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
There are already plenty of threads covering this, but the short answer is: no, one failed elective will not keep you out. Dental schools take your entire application — cGPA/sGPA, DAT scores, EC's, LoR's, PS, etc. — into consideration. There is even a section on AADSAS which allows you to explain uncharacteristic academic performance. It's not the end of the world for you; just take responsibility for your mistakes and keep improving.
