Don't be so desprate, man, you still got some school bach home.
I would retake part 1, with 85 you have no chance.
Good luck.

hey,
dont worry, there are schools which consider many other things in your application.
see you still have lot of time, i am sure you wont attend college here till you graduate there, so that leaves you with time to improve your GPA make sure its as close as possible to 4, get good experience by working as dental assitant in internship, try to attend seminars and even try to present some seminars and make sure you get the certificates for those, top in some subject or in your college, believe it or not every minute of hard work you put into your college there will fetch you good results...

all these sound very idealistic but its definetely possible.
you still have time right now just relax and concentrate on your grades in your college,
by the time you come to internship, trust me you will know what to do.
ALL THE BEST.
