Hey everybody whats up, I'm new here and I was hoping some here could help me with some advice...
I started off college as a pre-med just because it kinda seemed like a cool thing to do. My grades were NOT the best. I had no passion for medicine, but my family was involved in health care so I tried it and just wasn't interested in medicine.
I switched to business and my grades got a lot better. I love the prospect of business but I love even more the idea of being a business owner. I always liked the science classes but I didn't even consider dentistry at the time...I finally put 2 and 2 together and now I realize that general dentistry private practice would be the ultimate fit for me. I love everything that the career provides, since its similar to medicine without the nightmare of government intrusion and much more autonomy.
With my older bad grades, I started retaking these science courses again to boost my sci-GPA and my nonsci-GPA is currently at 3.5 and going up. I'm afraid that my sci-GPA may actually land between 3.2-3.3; the grades don't replace on the AADSAS....do I have a chance at all or should I keep taking science courses? Does a huge upswing count in their eyes? Also, would a really good DAT make up for subpar grades?
Seriously, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you everybody!!
