Hey everyone, I'm very scared about my chances about getting into dental school. My first 3 semesters in college I did absolutely terrible. I ended up getting an overall of 2.33 because I was in a terribly abusive relationship and was not allowed to leave my house. I then transferred out to another college.
I did decent the first few semesters although I am guilty of getting a few C's and W's but then lost one of my family members due to cancer. School didn't become a priority and therefore I received an F (on bio 2 unfortunately), W and D on my transcript for that semester.
A few more semesters have gone by and I have a strong upward trend (over a 3.85 for the past 2 semesters) and retook the classes I did poorly in and got an A+ from the semester where my grandfather was struck with cancer.
My overall GPA in my second college is now a 3.4, however I am worried about when I submit both my transcripts on the AADSAS, my GPA will drop to a 3.0
I have taken my DAT and I have acheived a TS of 25 and an AA of 23. How do my chances look?
Also these are my science grades for reference
