Hey everyone,

I just finished my freshman year at Texas A&M University last week, and I just received my final grades. I made an A in Biology 112 (lab and lecture), A in Chemistry 102 (lecture), B in chemistry 112 (lab), A in Theater 201, and a B in calculus 2.

My GPA for the semester was a 3.67, my overall GPA is a 3.33, and my sGPA is 3.42 (math included) and 3.88 (without math) (I wasn't sure if math is included in sGPA or not). I am really worried because I feel my overall GPA is not good enough to get into dental school, although I still have a few more years to enhance my grades. I did very well this semester compared to last semester, and I'm hoping to keep improving, but I feel discouraged because I put in a lot of hours in the library yet still didn't do as greatly as expected. I'll be attending SMDEP in a few weeks, so I'm hoping that that can help me get acquainted with courses such as O-chem and statistics before having to take them in the coming semesters. Anyone have any encouraging stories or advice to help boost my confidence?

You did pretty well your freshman year. Yes, there is room for improvement but if you look at admissions averages, you are right there. Just do better over the next 3 years.
