Sorry if this type of question has already been posted, but im just honestly looking for opinions on whether or not what im thinking is correct.
So anyway let me get straight to the point.
I took interest in the dental field early this year(2014). But my undergrad stats are horrible!
I have 15 withdrawals(I think i take the record for most dropped classes)! My sgpa is 2.7. Its my 7th year as undergrad. I havn't taken most of pre-req classes for dental schools. I am about to fail two courses out of the four I am currently taking this semester. I actively volunteer at a homeless shelter kitchen serving food on the weekends. I have no job shadowing hours yet.
I do have a reason as to why i lived life in the slow lane(not partying) but i feel like its a pretty weak reason.
So my idea is to either do a post bacc and take the pre req classes or go for a masters in chemistry. I also plan to get a job shadowing opportunity sooner than later. Is this the right path I should be taking or is there something else i can add to help my stats? Also, i plan on seeing my counselor for some advice.
Again, sorry if these type of threads flood these forums.
