Hello everyone. I never thought I'd actually post anything on SDN but with my current situation, I'm really losing my morale here on this dental school dream and would appreciate your help. I'm currently enrolled part-time in my local state university as a second bachelor's student to finish up my prerequisites for dental school and also raise my abysmally low gpa of 2.9 to a 3.0. I also work two part-time jobs (dental assistant and night shift at a warehouse) while taking these courses
My post-bacc journey upon graduating as as followed:
Summer 2017
Organic Chemistry I: B+
Fall 2017
Physics I w/ Lab: A
Organic Chemistry I Lab: B-
Spring 2018 (Current semester - expected grades)
Physics II: A
Organic Chemistry II Lab: A
Organic Chemistry II: B
The reason for an expected grade of B in Orgo II is because I scored a grade of 55 on the first exam last week. I spoke with my professor and he told me I no longer can get an A in his class, but should hope for at least a B or B+. This is a big deal for me because I was trying to get a 4.0 this semester.
Given the high expectations for post-bacc students, how will this negatively affect my chances of acceptance for the class of 2019?
