both your DAT and GPA are low.
Post-bacc won't really improve your GPA all that much.

My humble advice is to do a 1-2 year masters program and then retake DAT. Get a master's program that can be helpful if you decide against dentistry or something that you may able to get a job with.

Yikes. To get your GPA to a 3.5 which is the average, you need like 10 years of 4.0. Also, that dat score is pretty bad. Maybe science really isn't your strength? Every year you spent paying tuition as of now could of been spent earning money and the opportunity costs is going to be very high with no guarantee at the end. Have you thought about your other strengths? If it's math, go back to school for an accounting or engineer degree. What a 2.1 and 18AA shows is someone not good with the sciences. It's an uphill battle in every way. You can make it in the end but it's going to take time, energy, mental strength, and persistence. All when you can take like 3 years of courses and get a degree u can get a job in.

What they said above is true if it's not what you want to hear then buckle up and get ready to make amends. The GPA won't improve to levels you need doing post bacc or continuing undergrad classes but the masters program is a great option. Either way, admissions NEED to see a trend from you that spans two years minimum. An average GPA trend of 3.8 with a solid DAT retake will allow a holistic admissions committee like ours here in Colorado to give you a strong look.
