- I had the privilege of getting into a program filled with amazing classmates. Through this time together, I’ve been able to learn a lot of things from them and also receive a greater insight on all of the struggles that we come from. Taking this moment to thank @andrew_zufall and his wife for sharing their story with me on how they got into their programs with a low GPA!

Displaying how capable you at overcoming adversity on your application is not shared enough in the pre-dent community! I was someone who went from graduating with honors in high school to doing well my freshman year of undergrad then my grades sort of "yo-yo"'d from average - poor grades for a year or two because I wasn't being SERIOUS. I haven't received a grade beneath a B since 2012 (Originally entered undergrad in 2009, also went to dental hygiene school and graduated from there in 2015) and have been working diligently since realizing that you can't just retake classes and hide old grades. I don't think that advisors stress this to students entering college enough. I am applying for the first time this cycle and was devastated to find out that the AADSAS app will not exclude old grades but I have to focus on my upward trend and capability! Thank you so much for sharing! I don't think this situation is voiced enough and its easy to get discouraged when you see students posting that they wouldn't apply with GPA's less than 3.7 etc.
I'm SO glad this video was able to encourage you and that it's showing others you can still make it into dental school even with a low GPA. Yes, it's going to take some time to fix those wrongs but going from a high GPA in high school to a far lower one in college should never deter you from reaching your goals! Best of luck on this years application cycle! I'll be cheering you on!
this literally made me cry
It apparently made three others cry as well!
Thank you so much for sharing Andrew! I graduated in 2018 so I’ve been working in the dental field ever since. I really am in the same boat as you where my experience cup is full but my academic isn’t. You really inspire me to go back to school. Btw love the analogy! I will be applying this year to dental school for the first time and taking DAT for the second time. Most likely, I will end up going back to school for my masters.
Thank you so much!
You got this!
Thanks for sharing your story, I too applied 4 times until I got into WesternU so I understand what it was like.
No problem at all! We're glad to have you with us!
POST BACC IS 10/10 RECOMMEND
Yes! It definitely was critical for developing my academic skills!
Such an emotional rollercoaster. I am currently in the middle of my application cycle and am feeling less than confident. This story was so inspiring and was exactly what I needed to hear to continue to push myslef. Thank you so much for sharing Andrew and Michael!
This is so motivating to hear as a undergraduate student, hopefully one day I can share a story as inspiring as this
Glad you liked the video and thank you for your support! It's easy to get ourselves down in undergrad but as long as we keep our passion alive for dentistry, it'll be a matter of when we get in and not a matter of if. Best of luck!
Thank you for sharing! This was exactly what I needed to hear :) very inspiring and encouraging
I'm so glad this was helpful! Thank you so much for your support!
Thank you so much for this interview it was very much beneficial and gave a lot of mental clarity!
Thank you so much for watching! Glad you found it helpful!
I’m working on my undergrad and my entire family ended up getting sick. We had symptoms similar to covid-19 but it wasn’t serious enough to go to the hospital. Anyway, this semester has been difficult because of this. This video has really helped me get motivated to keep working as hard as I can! Great content!
Hello! I'm so so incredibly sorry about the hard time you family must have gone through. I'm also glad to hear that this video put you in good spirits. Prayers to you and your family and I wish you all get well soon!
Also, good luck with your studies! I know it must be hard having everything be online right now but summer is just around the corner! Lets all work hard together!
