Hey all, i just registered and this is my first post here. Hopefully I'll get lots of responses. I majored in molecular biology and right now I'm doing a course work masters (almost finished). I don't have the hottest GPA right now and am WORRIED!

 

Background:

 

Avg undergrad is 3.05 cGPA, pretty much the same for sciGPA

 

Physiology masters - 3.51 GPA

 

SO question is, do I even have chances? If so, how crazy high does my DAT score needs to be for me to be accepted into canadian dental schools? Which one(s)?

 

I have done quite a bit of research with three different labs (for eight months each, one of them being an oral cancer research lab), and did co-op at two biopharma companies (also, 8 mos each)

Worked as a dental assistant for 2.5 years

Played violin since 12 years old and played in an orchestra for three years

Travel (solo backpacking for a 1.5 months - europe), international volunteering experiences (nicaragua)

 

THANKS A LOT GUYS in advance!
