Hello all!
I'm looking for some advice or opinions on my chances to get into dental school. I graduated from undergrad in 2012 with a political science degree and a 3.3 cum GPA. I worked in the US Senate on healthcare policy for a few years and figured out that dentistry is what I want to do. I am a post-bacc now getting a 3.7 avg in my science pre-reqs. I don't really have volunteer hours since I was working long hours when employed. However, I have 50+ shadowing hours and growing. I am applying this June for fall '18. I am taking the DAT in July. If I do well on the DAT (which is what I'm working hard for) what are my chances for getting in? Does anyone have any recommendations on schools that might value past work experience?
Thanks!!
