how is your TS 21 with 20, 20, and 19 in subsections?
 
You have the hours but I'm missing the story why you want to be a dentist. You focused on your blemishes on your transcript but I don't know about your GPA trends... year by year please.

I would recommend removing UMMC from your list, the last couple of cycles they only accept Mississippi residents (Applicant Evaluation and Decisions). Unless you can somehow prove strong ties to the state of Mississippi... They will gladly accept your donation though...lol

I'm an MLS major so my senior year was mostly professional courses, but most of my W's came from spring of freshman year, and fall of sophomore year, after which I didn't have any W.
