Hi everyone,

I'm a Canadian who just graduated with a degree in Biology at UBC. I did not know what I wanted out of my life until this year, and as a result had a noncompetitive average for my first 3 years (70% average). Figured out that I wanted to do dentistry this year, and got an 81% average. I have a bunch of shadowing hours with two different dentists, and am planning on taking the DAT this november. I also have some lab experience. (No publication, unfortunately). I'm not quite sure what my chances are for dental schools, and was wondering where I should apply, and what I should do next. Do you guys know any places that look at upward trends?

Thanks!

PS: my cumulative average after this year is now 73%
