Not really. They may ask why your GPA went down a semester, but you have an answer. It may be considered a "bad trend" but it wont keep you out of dental school.

I suppose if you plotted that, you wouldn't have much of a slope. But bad? I don't know. It's just your busted-leg hiccup. GPA isn't too shabby despite that. I think you Canadian roots are more of a battle than these fluxes in GPA. Y'all got it hard. And not just the ice.

haha yes it's a hard life up here in the cold North do you think they will see my leg problem as being a good enough reason for the low GPA?

that was also my first semester at a new university that I transferred too. It's also funny because that semester was suppose to be a GPA boosting semester. I was taking 3 arts classes math and a class regarded as the easiest junior year science class at the university...

here is a rule.... if your overall stats are good (3.58 = good) then there is no such thing as "bad trend"
