I have been applying to dental school since 2014 while making improvements over the years.
Currently: 3.28c 3.28s GPA (VCU CERT:3.46) DAT (3rd attempt): 20AA 21TS (Bio 23 Chem 21 Ochem 20 RC 20 PA 22 QR 17) over 2000 dental assisting hours and a bachelors in Biology, 700 hours volunteer ranging from tutoring to MOM.
I have good LORs from what I can tell and a decent personal statement explaining my perseverance for Dentistry. My question is if I don’t get in this year, do I pursue another PostBacc/Master for GPA boost or apply to more than 13 schools (the number I applied to this year with three interviews and no acceptances)?
I’m starting to worry that I’ll never get in.
PS. Texas resident and non URM.
