Im in my 2nd year of undergrad, An last semester my grades tanked, i got a c+ in chem one an a d+ in calc1, an a c+ in statistic's. My only grades below a B. Very very bad. Now i have a 3.0 GPA. But this semester is amost over (5 weeks left) i have 2 B+'s one in micro bio an another in chem2. The other three classes i have A's. But im still extremely worried. Is it anything to panic over. Am i over???

I read in a previous thread this "don't stress" method, try that! 🙂 Seriously though, I think as long as you make up for it they'll see you got yourself back on track, we're human, humans make mistakes.

best thing you can do is keep trying to get the best grades possible it will all fall into place, do your best in your classes then study hard for the DAT then apply .....dont let all this stress ruin your life because life is too short and so is college i wasted too much time stressing and i regret it but i am glad i got into school but i missed out on a lot of things

The only time a guy should concede to defeat, is if he gave it all and still came up short. Sounds like you are improving by quite a bit, so I don't think you should, in any way, start folding your cards just yet. Show improvement in the rest of the remaining years, and don't forget to enjoy college in the process. This will show maturity, personal development, and subsequent academic improvement - key elements for anyone entering a health profession.

Assuming all five classes this semester are the same number of credits, you are currently pulling a 3.72 GPA for this term. Add that into your previous three semesters averaging a 3.0 (assuming you average the same number of credits as this term) and you'll finish this term with a 3.18 cumulative GPA. A 3.18 is certainly more than enough to get considered by most, if not all, dental schools. Search around; there are many students admitted with a lower GPA than you have now. On top of that, it appears as though you are improving, so you'll probably apply with a higher GPA than 3.18.

A 3.18 isn't high enough to *drive* a successful application, but it definitely isn't low enough to kill one.

with a gpa in the low 3 range, the OP should focus on doing very well on the DAT. most lower GPA applicants who get accepted seem to have above average DAT scores.

Truth is, it is extremely difficult to get into dental school right now and the most minor infractions on your application will be seriously detrimental. That said, i don't think you have a 0% chance of admittance but you are in bad shape. I think very high DAT grades will be essential for giving you any shot and furthermore, i would strongly consider retaking those classes in which you did so poorly or take upper level classes in those fields and excel in them. Good luck
