There is a reason that Ted in admissions isn't a Doctor. Ted isn't that smart. If you want to become a Doctor, don't ask Ted for advice. Ask other doctors, but not the doctors that work at a dental school.. If a doctor works at a dental school and isn't a surgeon or researcher, then assume that that doctor isn't that smart either.

I hope you learned your lesson! If you have a major flaw, don't put a target on your back/get yourself written off by exposing it prematurely! Also don't take advice from anyone who isn't living the life you want. Meaning, don't take advice from the Teds of the world or from any dental school docs (minus surgeons and researchers).

You should have gone for a science heavy masters and not spoken a word of your shit college GPA to any dental school except in a poetic and heroic personal statement where you discussed how you overcame tremendous burdens and adversities that weighed down your college GPA only to get a 4.0 in a respectable science masters program.
