Hello all!
Here is my current situation: I will be starting my Senior year at the University of Florida in the Fall and I plan on applying to UF's College of Dentistry, as well as other colleges(I will more than likely be taking a Gap Year, I also need advice on this). My current Overall GPA is a 3.2. I haven't participated in any shadowing at all due to work and a rigorous school schedule. As far as volunteering goes, I don't have that many hours piled up either (probably around 20 hrs since I started college). I have become somewhat unmotivated because I feel like I've fallen so far behind as far as shadowing and volunteering. I haven't taken my DAT yet either and I'm pretty sure I have no choice but to take a gap year, right? My question is, how concerned should I be when it's time for my interview at any dental school? Are they going to question why I waited last minute to shadow/volunteer?
Any suggestions/advice is greatly appreciated!
Thank you
