I've searched some of the schools. Their recommendations for re-applicants are:
1) taking full-time classes (min 15quarter units at 300's biol levels)
or 2) get a master degree (with good GPA)
etc...

For full-time working students, how can you manage full-time classes at 300's level while maintaining all A's at the same time?????😕😕😕

I'm not sure I would worry about this too much, because everyone has a different situation. The most important thing is to do well in your classes, and try to take at least two solid classes per term even if you're working. You can always work an explanation of your situation into your personal statement...I did. It just wasn't possible to work full time AND take more than 2-3 classes per term. Some jobs provide opportunities for work study, etc...mine did not. If you perform poorly because you attempt to work full time and take a full load in school, it will be much more difficult to explain (and a low gpa will close a few doors as well).

You have to decide what is more important to you: becoming a dentist or working to maintain your current lifestyle. If becoming a dentist is really what you want, you will make the sacrifice, take some loans out so you don't have to work so much or at all. This will allow you time to study for your classes so you can do well. Sometimes if things are not working the way you've been doing them, you either change something to get your desired result or quit. I say you make the sacrifice and change something.
