Pre-dental GPA

[Hubguy]

Hello, I currently have a BS in Public Health, and have worked in Microbiology (USAF-Active Duty), and have Dept of Defense & CDC (published 2x) on my resume.

I am currently taking the pre-requisites for dental school. Will be taking O Chem in the Fall.

My question is, how is GPA averaged for dental school screening? Are community college courses included (A&P, Microbiology)? Does my past work history & professional accomplishments aid in my application?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Community college courses are included. Some schools do not accept pre-reqs taken at community colleges, so keep that in mind. The work experience and publications will certainly help, but they cannot replace a strong GPA.
