My Journey To Dental School: Getting Into Dental School With Under a 3.0 GPA

[WATCH IN 4K] Hey everyone! I decided to an updated video to help my new subscribers get to know a little bit about me, my background, my journey to dental school, and why I started this whole Youtube Channel in the first place.

So in this video I basically give you a short version of a whole bunch of previous videos I've made before, mixed into one. The topics (that most likely have older videos) cover how I went about getting into dental school with a low GPA, switching from pre-med to pre-dent, why and where I did my post-bacc program, and more.

If you have more questions please leave a comment!

If you're new to the channel, my name is Eli and I am a 2nd year dental student at Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine. I went to University of Maryland, College Park for undergrad, and I did a post-bacc program at George Mason and Georgetown Universities, called G Squared.

On my channel I vlog my dental school journey as well as make videos for pre-dental students who want advice on getting into dental school. I didn't have the easiest journey to dental school, and a unique story, as I was interested in medical school for 2 years after graduating before switching to dental. Follow along my journey as a dental student and after I graduate, I want the channel to be a way for young Black men and women to see someone that looks like them working in the healthcare field. Also, share the channel with anyone you think may find it interesting! I appreciate all the support and really want to get my Youtube out there.

Currently a postbacc student in a similar situation. Having to take classes that I didnt do in undergrad or having to retake classes made me feel like i'm always behind. Hearing your story of finally making to dental school is motivating. Keep it up eli

Hearing this made me feeling better about some of my fears in continuing to go to dental school. My biggest block at the moment is cost. My loans for undergrad are just so much I’m afraid I can’t continue. Any tips on that?

Hi Eli, thank you for your content. You have been a great source to me in my pre-dental journey! I have a similar background as you and the G2 program checks all my boxes so just finished applying a couple weeks ago. I am very anticipated to receive my admissions decision. How long after you submitted your application did you receive an acceptance letter?

What was your DAT score and what month did you apply to schools?

I'm debating on doing a gap year or applying for a master's program. I'm going into my last semester of undergrad and depending on my GPA is going to determine what I will do.
