i had a really hard time starting dental school my first year and essentially failed 2 courses first and second semester. I think despite my bio degree, I was very unprepared (at a lower tiered undergrad, you get away with a lot), school turned out to be pretty self-taught and I was wrestling with a number of things including depression and anxiety (which actually may or may not have come with school) which I have doctors referral and therapist meetings for.
I think a lot of my problems stem from the additional pressure of my family who live 10 minutes away. I think my school may allow me to repeat first year there second time around but I was wondering how difficult would it be to re-enter first year at another school at this point? Or another school where all their science courses aren't taken first year? I have no problem with the clinical aspects (the ones I care about) and have the wax-ups, casts and preps to prove it.
Is it too late now?
