Hey guys

I graduated from UCLA with biology and 2.9 oGPA nad 2.5-2.6 sGPA. DAT of 20 AA 20 TS 26 QR 21 RC and 18 PAT.

I'm looking to improve my stats and I've tried to enroll in my local 4-year university (Cal State Fullerton) but failed because the class got reduced in both number of sessions and the class size. Now I'm waiting for UC Irvine to see if I can add classes. I'm also looking for SMPs to apply. I take it these are the only two options I have to increase my chances for dental schools right?

It seems like the SMPs listed in the sticky are mainly for med school. Can pre-dents benefit from those?

Thank you
