"WHAT ARE THE CHANCES!"

I currently am a freshman in College and am very concerned regarding my chances of dental school and if I should pursue this career. My GPA after my first year will be around a 3.2, but I had a poor first semester (2.76) because i did not take it seriously. This semester I have a 3.55 GPA and I plan on bringing up my cummulative GPA up to around a 3.4-3.5 with a science GPA of around 3.4 by the time I apply. I plan on hundreds of volunteer/shadowing hours, and my father owns his own practice, which i don't know if that will help me or not. I also am shooting for a 20 on the DAT. Please let me know

Do those stats seem acceptable? or interview worthy?

Yes, bring up your GPA, do what you planned and you'll be fine.

Young grasshopper you have great energy and yearn for great goals, keep in mind that to become whom you want to be, a hop will not get you there,

In other words, aim high for your scores,
Organize your schedule to include extracurricular activities which will help you become a better person to Serve the community, volunteer, and possibly try to work as a dental assistant somewhere, you don't need a certification in most states,

Come back to SDN IN one year, this is my treatment plan for you, young grasshopper.

I had a 2.7-2.8 after my freshman year. You will be fine if you work hard and keep it up
