Hi guys, I am a very new member to this forum and need some help..

I recently graduated from UC Irvine '09 with one more fall quarter. with a B.A in Economics with an overall GPA of 2.88. I started out as a Biology major, but switched during my 2nd year so I have a couple classes down in my sciences. Haven't taken my tests yet.

I wanted to finish up my prereqs at a community college, and hopefully apply couple years from now.

What are the chances of me even getting hope to making it to a dental school??? Assuming I get straight A's at either IVC or OCC. I am currently 22.

please help! an honest opinion would be very helpful..

Take the cc classes and ace them to bring up your GPA. Also, kill the DAT and hope for the best. Remember to apply to schools that take cc credits (ie. Tufts doesn't take cc credits🙁). Note that gpa and dat are not the only factors in your application. Get good LORs and write a killer personal statement. Good luck!

A LOT of schools don't accept community college credits especially for Prereqs...have you considered a post bacc or SMP?

Don't worry about your age...success has no expiration date.

My gpa of 2.88 doesn't qualify me to many post-bacc programs..
