I need of advice. I am a third year UC Davis undergraduate student and was wondering if I still have a chance of getting into dental school with an overall GPA of 3.10. Im not sure what to take into account for my science GPA, but Ive included classes such as Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Calculus, Statistics, and as well as Nutrition and Hydrology (which were my GE courses that I believe would count in my science GPA as well) in my calculation and my science GPA is a 2.90. As an undergraduate student of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology major, I am taking courses such as Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Psychology, and Writing Composition for winter quarter of my junior year. I am starting my 2nd quarter with writing and planning taking at least three quarters of writing courses so that I would have a good English/Writing background and I think it is a prerequisite as well. Furthermore, I want to spend more time studying for the classes that I am taking; however, I am currently starting my second employment job at UC Davis and my first job did take away some of my free time in my previous year. Though I have to spend more time on my school work each day because of being employed, I am hoping to gain experience in the science/lab field so that I could put something in my resume.
Overall, my question is if I still have a chance in getting into a graduate school in dentistry, especially in California. I havent taking the DAT yet and will do so sometime in the beginning of fall 2011 of my senior year. My plans for this coming summer are to take summer courses at UC Davis and prepare for the DAT, hoping that studying for the exam during that time is efficient and that my timing is not too late. That is to say, feel free to post comments and ideas/suggestions.
