I have been an average student my whole life from grade school to college. I really struggled with academics until I learned how to work smarter and not harder. In college, my advisor told me I wouldn’t be able to study abroad with my biomedical sciences major and that I shouldn’t apply to dental school because my GPA was average and DAT score. I was able to finish college on Deans list, be captain of my lacrosse team, study abroad in 5 countries, work two part time jobs, and get admission into dental school on my first try. If I can do it, trust me you can too! Instead of searching for opportunities to come my way, I created my own. I believe you can too!
