What should I do.....I need some advice!

[HYOO]

Hi, I'm currently 3rd year undergrad (biochem major) at Carleton University (if there are any Carleton Uni undergrads here on this forum, holla back!!).

 

Recently, I've been thinking if becoming a dentist is a right choice for me.

I did ok in 1st year (~85% avg). 2nd year was kind of mediocre (three A's and three B's and oh how could i forget my first C+ in genetics). 3rd year....well, let's just say I prevented the worst case scenario by withdrawing 4 courses (biochem and org chem lecture courses, but I will be taking them again next year). Because of the course drops, I will be finishing only 3 courses this year (animal phys, biochem lab and microbio). I got B on ani phys and I am expecting to get A- or B+ in bioc lab and A+ in microbio. Now, I've calculated my best possible CGPA (excluding the 2nd year) after two more years of undergrad "as a part-time student (taking 6 courses per year)". Assuming I get A+'s in all the courses I will be taking, it's around 92~93%.

 

I've just written DAT this year. I think I did ok on it, and I am prbly gonna take it again this year to get higher mark (I think I gotta excel DAT to make up for the best possible CGPA).

 

I am thinking of applying to UFT, UOW, Mcg and prbly UFA. Would I have a chance to get accepted in the end? Gimme some advice on school selection and what I should do to enhance my appeal as a candidate. I am very aware of UFT and UOW admissions but just hit me with any additional information.
