Hi guys!
I am a junior right now in the university. I am interested in going to dental school. My current GPA is 3.30 .I have two C's.. In organic chem1 and organic chem2. SO i am really stressed out about it because I have heard med school and dental school dont accept people with C's .
Pleasee helpppp !🙁

I got a handful of C's, including a C in Ochem 1, and a D in Ochem 2, which I had to retake - I got in just fine. You just have to find a way to prove yourself, be that doing better in your higher level classes, or doing well on that section of the DAT, I did that, and when asked about Ochem at my interviews I said this, and it seemed to be a very acceptable answer.

And they DO accept C's, they just don't accept C- .

Check out my Pre-dents profile (just under my avatar) for all of my details. But, I got into Columbia, Pitt, and Howard (and waitlisted at LLU).

Okay I checked it .
Are those private colleges? or state colleges? Because I am not a permanent resident in US.And I probably wont be at the time of applying. So I was just wondering what are my chances to get into dental school ?

thanks in advance

Those are all private schools, and we've got a number of international students in my class at Pitt. I'd suggesting asking down in the International Dentistry section for more info on what you're asking.

It's in my Predents Profile link, just under my avatar. And I'm fairly sure that's the policy for most schools as far as pre-req classes. Other classes though, it doesn't really matter.
