I don't think that there is a lot to be done in regards to your GPA. Perhaps you can take some post-bacc classes at community colleges or something like that.

I would go for that, study extremely hard on the GRE and obviously do well on that test, and write a very strong personal statement explaining exactly why you want to pursue an MPH.

You might not end up at a top-tiered university, but you could make the cut at some MPH programs.

The way I understand your situation is that you want to use an MPH program to get into a dental school as an international/advance standing student.

Unfortunately, I think that a 2.4 would exclude you from a good school of public health. I feel that even a great GRE score 1200+ would not be enough to save you.

My suggestion is to enroll in some community college classes. Those classes should probably be relatively easy for you (considering your background) and will definitely help improve your GPA.

I feel that the MPH route to a dental school is interesting. It could help you considering you have a dental background and that is always a plus but many schools are not keen on being stepping stones to other programs. Also, as a side note, American dental schools are very very selective <4% acceptance rates.....
