I spoke to a pre-health professional advisor today, and he told me that I shouldn't apply this year, because my application was not strong enough. I want to hear your guys feedback.
So I graduated last year with biology degree. My cummulative GPA is 3.21 and my science GPA is 3.0. My DAT scores are academic:19, total science 21, PAT 18. My lowest score was the QRT, I had a 14.
I have a lot of dental experience, I worked as a dental assistant and last few months I went to developing countries with a group of dental students to provide free dental care to the people in impoverished villages.
Also, I dedicated a year of service in the Americorps program and volunteered over 1700 hours.
I understand that my GPA is low, but should that discourage me to apply this year? To fix this problem, I currently enrolled in two upper level science course.
What do you guys think?
Do you agree with the advisor?
I am just finishing up my personal essay and I don't know what to do?
