you still have a chance at interviews at the private schools, though they may be post-dec 2

if you have to reapply next year, make sure to turn it in ASAP and replace the weak teacher one with a strong dentist one...
 
You should be okay. Some of the last interviews are in March, which means they still have seats open until then. If you don’t get in, next year looks promising. I agree with macsak.
Also, if your close to a dental school in MI, go and ask to shadow or volunteer. It could give you an “in” with the school for next year. Good luck.
 
Hey! we have almost the same stats but I'm applying next cycle. how'd you do if you don't mind me asking?

I made a big oopsie and applied like mid October. Got one interview and I'll let you know tomorrow if they let me in! Honestly if you apply early you'll get a few interviews. It's competitive but just put yourself out there, someone will for sure look at it. I didn't realize just how important an early application is for low stats. Two of my friends had the same stats, but one got almost double the interviews because he applied much much earlier. Good luck man.
