Question for dental post-bacc, HELP!!!

Man.. I don't know where to start.

OK. I'm a undergrad student at UIUC and a major in MCB.
I am a senior right now and my GPA is only about 2.5.
I know that this GPA is FARFARFAR from being competitive.
That is why I was thinking of post bacc programs. I would have to first raise my GPA in order to get to post-bacc programs, which I think would take about three more semesters in undergrad.

Here are some main questions.
On the assumption that I get a high DAT score, would it be better to do SMP or post bacc?
Would a great three semesters of work give me some chance to get into some less-competitive post-bacc or SMP?


In the end would I have a chance to get into dental school even if I do get into post-bacc(or SMP) and do well? Is a 2.5 GPA impossible to overcome even if I have three more semesters to go?

well hope i'm not bothering you guys with obvious questions but I went through the forum and was not able to find perfect answers for my questions.

Good luck to all in pursuing the field of health care! 😀

You're probably better off posting this in the pre-dental forum... I'm not sure that many people in this particular forum know that much about dental admissions.
