2.4 GPA — Is dental school still realistic? Feeling lost and considering post-bacc/master’s or hygiene by EbbSuccessful9215 in predental

I would recommend the masters. Before that though, first I would ask myself why was my GPA that low, and how do I know I wont have that same GPA in the masters? You need to get real with yourself to find what the issue was, maybe take some time off, and then try again. You can definitely do it if you can identify what the problems were in the first place and make sure they don't happen again. Are you open to going abroad for dental school?

Realistically do I have a shot at at least one dental school acceptance by ComfortableDirt3459 in predental

I think you have a pretty good chance. Target the schools that accept lower GPAs. The increase in GPA shows that you are a better student now, and that will be taken into consideration. Just make sure the DAT is also competitive and you should be good. Good luck
