<p>I don’t know the average GPA, (I’m pretty sure it’s around a 3.4) but from what I’ve been told by dentists that I’ve shadowed, (I too aspire to be a dentist. ;D)to be a competitive applicant for dental school you will want to have a 3.5+. I would personally like to have a 3.5+ when I apply and have a high DAT score. That is because it is better to have one of the highest score, then just ro be barely eligible for Dental school. If you were going to accept someone into dental school would you pick that person with a 3.1 that barely passed the DAT, or the person who has a 3.6 and did a preeminent job on the DAT? Anyways, good look with your Dentistry desire.</p>
