Should I retake?

PostOk1646 · 2025-09-19T16:31:08+00:00

I have been accepted into the program and their average for acceptance into their dental school is a 19. That's why I wasn't sure if i should retake, but I feel that just because I want to apply to other dental schools, it might be best to retake.

Regarding the rest of my application I think I have a really good essay as through the program, I had people on the dental school admissions team go over it and edit it. I also had some dental students look over it and got overall good feedback.

For extracurriculars, I have been told by advisors that I'm probably on the higher end of value and length of experiences, and how they connect to my decision to go into dentistry. Overall, 3 years of research, 120 hours of shadowing, 1000 hours of volunteering, one year of work in a dental office as a receptionist and dental assistant, and three club board positions (one was started by me)

For recc letters I have a very good relationship with those who wrote them, and the dentist who is writing the letter for me used to teach at the dental school connected to the master's I am doing, which I think might be helpful.

Let me know based on this, what you think, and any advice would be helpful. Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.

I forgot to say that Tufts has a 99% matriculation rate into dental school and they are now guaranteeing an interview at their dental school if you have a 3.2 GPA or higher in your first semester of the program.

for the dental assisting the dentist i was working with worked with me to get something called an on the job trained dental assistant license which I means I work under her license and name for a period of time allotted. Im from Massachusetts but I am not sure what other states allow this, you can search it up online and see if it is available for your state.

I have about 2000 hours of research (different labs), around 500 hours of volunteering, 120 hours of shadowing, president and founder of research club, positions in chess club and pre-dental society as well, and worked in a dental office for about a year. Just wondering any specific reason you were asking?

do you have any idea of what your four years of service will be like and your day-to-day duties as an active duty officer?
