Hey all,
I am kind of at a loss. I didn't know what I wanted to do for the longest time, got my undergraduate degree in biology, and ended up beginning a master's degree in statistics this semester. I was a really good student in undergrad, got a 3.85 gpa, with my sgpa being a 3.83. I just recently realized I wanted to give dentistry a shot, and so far I love it. I like shadowing (even tho it's a tad awkward), and am going to start volunteering at a dental clinic soon. My issue is my master's. These courses I'm taking are SO hard, and not my forte, even though I succeeded in calculus, linear algebra, etc. in undergrad. I'm worried about failing one of my classes, bc I just got a 40% on my midterm. I just don't know what to do. I feel like my undergrad grades mean nothing considering I can't seem to do well in grad school. I am aware statistics has nothing to do with dentistry, and honestly if I had realized I wanted to do dentistry earlier in the semester, I would have just dropped my classes. I just need some advice on what to do. Do I drop down to a certificate, only take one more class, and not even finish my master's? Do I stick it out? Thank you!!!!
