    Caribbean MD --> DDS --> DO?

    Hey Y'all, I'm currently in dental school, in which I enrolled hastily after withdrawing (with a WF) from a Big 4 Caribbean med school. Do I have any chance of admission to a DO school given my dicey academic history? Thanks!

    So this may have been covered already in previous topics, but it seems to typically be a female student asking for advice, so this is a little bit different. I am currently married (we celebrated our first anniversary this past November) and am currently still finishing my degree before...
