Admission to Dental School

Hi,

I'm seeking an opportunity to becoming a dentist. I have earned BS of
Computere
Science and MS of Telecommunication. However, my undergraduate GPA is
horrible - 2.4, but my graduate GPA is about 3.6. When I was in school
to pursue BS degree, I had to work full-time to support myself and my
family. I had a tough time to keep up my grades. Sad

My
undergraduate grades of all science courses including math, physics,
biology, chemistry, ...etc are B or better. I'm currently taking
pre-requisites for dental school and my GPA is about 3.77. I'm also an
active US Naval Reservist.

Do you think I have a chance to get accepted by one of the dental
schools in US?

Thanks,

Huy

The application process encompasses many other items than GPA and grades,
sounds like you're on the right track. Have you taken the DAT yet?
Make CERTAIN you make clear that you had to support your family, your
community activities, active reserve status in the application, especially
if you are interviewed.
Sounds like you stand a good chance.

Good luck!!
