Need some opinions here,

I've been getting really good grades up till this year. Then I started shadowing dentist, then getting a job, and then taking kaplan studying for DAT. Each quarter, my grades are getting a little worse. But this trend applies mostly to my physics classes and labs. Do you think the adcoms will see the downward trend a throw my application out? Or do you think they'll put in some effort to figure from my application that I've just been more and more busy? I'm freaking out here! 😱

So long as you have been getting 'really good grades' the adcoms probably won't notice it until your interviews where they may question it then. The first thing they look at is your overall GPA and DAT scores and if it's good then you get an interview.

I think a downward trend in your overall GPA is more of a concern than one class and shouldn't negatively effect you too much.
