Hi,
I come from a disadvantaged high school and when I graduated they just introduced AP Bio, that's how bad that high school was. High school was tough for me because I am hard of hearing and I had to work 2x harder than most students to get an A. I was accepted into UC school but I didn't have a strong foundation in chemistry and biology and failed many classes regarding that area. Although I have been picking my biology grades back up. I like biology much better than chemistry for some reason.
I was accepted into SHPEP dental summer program at UCLA (I was about to give up being a dentist around this time, maybe this acceptance is a hint to keep going?)
I just nervous about applying to dental school in the future because I still have to retake some of the chemistry classes and I don't know if I should give up? I am currently a junior in undergraduate with GPA almost 3.0... I am not sure if I should start thinking about doing post bacc or master but I am staying a fifth year in undergrad to finish up my psychology classes for a psychology degree. I have been discouraged by my academic advisor to keep going since freshmen year and I refuse to believe that this is my limitation just because I am hard of hearing student and I failed chemistry classes.
Any insight or advice would be appreciated it.
