I just wanted to let you guys out there who don't have the best stats to know that if you want to be a dentist, to keep pushing. I was so discouraged for the longest time especially being on SDN and seeing so many stellar scores/GPAs. After constant reevaluation of my life, I ultimately knew deep down that this what I really wanted and through several hours or volunteering/shadowing/extracurricular activities on top of revamping how I studied by putting myself through a rigorous grad program, I finally got what I've wanted for many years. My scores are well below stats and if I can do it, anyone who wants it as much as me can do it. Just have faith and keep working towards your goal. Anyways, thanks for listening to my rant and OMG...I'M GOING TO BE A DENTIST!!!!!!!!!
