Hi,

I always have passion in dental anatomy. Thus, 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. :-( 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 in one of the dental
schools in US?

Thanks,

Huy

Possibly. Why not contact the nearest one and ask their opinion?

I'm taking Kaplan's DAT this summer and planning to take the DAT next
Spring. I guess I have to do very well on DAT ... maybe 20+ to be
admitted in one of the dental schools.

Anyhow, thank you you all for the tips.

IMO a Grad of Computere (sic) Science, that does not use a spell checker should
not be seeking postgraduate studies. If they did and their application contained
similar errors, I can imagine it would find the "G" file real quick.

Not really, my life sucks. Yet, I learnt from my mistakes.
