Hello, Im new to this very very nice website so please bare with me.
I just became a junior and am a predental student at wright state university. My current G.P.A is a 2.868. My grades started rising about halfway through sophmore year starting with 3.333, 3.333,3.000. The thing that I am most upset is about is that:
-I failed a college algebra class my freshman year (prof. was incoherrent, and I was cocky) but retook the class and made a B, replacing the previous grade...this was because of the freshman forgiveness.
-I recieved a D in the second inorganic chem my freshman year
-I have a W on my record for a calc class,I got afraid that i would have the same experience as I did in my other math class due to incoherency, but I just finished it last quarter with a B in the class
-I also recieved a C in Ochem 1 but got a B in the lab.
I feel like there is no way out of this dilemma, though Im sure I can get LORs and have done some ECs and shadowed a pediatric dentist. If post high scores on the DAT, you think I would have a chance at schools such as: Case western, OSU, Michigan and Columbia? I will be graduating in the year 2010, despite being a junior, so i suppose that gives me time to raise my G.P.A to atleast a 3.33-3.4ish which I WILL! But what do you think? I dont want let go of dream, I really really want to get into Dental school
btw, Im taking clinical bio, physic I and OchemII with labs, and Im sure that Im going to do very very well in them.
