hi, im in the process in finishing my bs degree in bio chem, im not so sure if i can get into dentistry even though i reall want to, my gpa is around 3.6 , but i have like 5 classes i retook after getting C's on them, i got A's on almost all of them except a B on a couple, one of them i had to retake twice, i had alot of problems in my freshman year, in getting used to my new home, and new educational system ( finished highschool abroad ), was wondering if i had any chance in applying to dentistry, assuming i have good lor's and a solid dat score, i want to study in either michigan or new york, any university in those two states, any advice ..

3.6 GPA and the classes you repeated were to correct C's? I definately don't think that will hold you back. My GPA is less than that (3.46 overall, but good DAT scores) and I'm interviewing at UMich, NYU, Columbia, and Buffalo. Blow the DAT out of the water and you will be gold.

hey sanonofre, if you don't mind me asking, when did you send in your aadsas app?

I wouldn't think that would be a problem, I mean, if anything it shows that you are crazy... just kidding. I'm sure admissions are looking for those who they feel work hard to get good grades, it shows you can study and pass your board exams. Study hard on the DAT, do well and I would bet you have just as good a shot as anyone else here.

I agree, don't worry so much about the classes you re-took. Focus more on the present, and destroying your DAT. Remember, if you kill all your sections on the DAT, you have obviously proven that you know the material. Good luck.

as long as you have a great excuse to give them at interviews, its all good

I agree that it is nothing that you should not be able to overcome. Realize though, that aadsas will factor both those C's and your improved grades into your GPA. If your undergrad school doesn't already do that, your GPA will drop. May not go down significantly and again, it is nothing that you should worry to much about as long as you fulfill the remainder of the requirements.
