If the latter were true, we wouldn't have an issue. But from the original post, it seems like the OP wasn't serious/passionate about becoming a doctor (because it was one section of one test that is holding them back), and is ready to move on to the "next best thing." The OP seemed to abandon ship real quick to find something new once the tough got going.Who cares if it's his back up plan, you don't run a monopoly on who's a pre dent. He might love dentistry , and be a better dentist than any of you one day.
Futile arguement
Call me a conservative for having this mindset, but I would rather have a classmate who truly wants to be in dental school, or someone who, after realizing the lifestyle or career of being a doctor was not suitable for them, decided to pursue dentistry. Not someone who would tell me, "Oh, I bombed the physics part of the MCAT. The DAT was easier so that's why I'm here." On top of that, they're possibly taking the place of someone who truly wanted to be a dentist, not a "failed pre-med turned pre-dent."
