Hey friends,
I decided to return to the dental track after 12 years! I left the path during admissions cycle in light of some other opportunities I had. It was never a matter of not wanting to do dentistry, it was more “I’m going to put this on hold” while I do this other thing. Little did I know it would be this long on hold.
I’m currently retaking my prerequisites and am juggling all of the things that comes with being older in returning to school, including an established career, a family, other responsibilities, and of course, going to school. I have to admit, because I am not fully able to focus on school, because of these reasons - and won’t be until it’s time to prepare for the DAT in a year and a half’s time - I have a legitimate fear that after all if this, I am going to be weighted because of my decision to leave and come back - returning not as strong.
My precious science gpa was 3.50, and now is 3.0. I have a lot of room to and time to improve. I have not taken the DAT or any practice tests.
Has anyone returned to the dental past and got accepted? What were your stats? What’s your story?
