Getting into dental school ?!?

What is the minimum GPA a college student must have to be considered acceptance to dental school, considering he/she scores really good on the DAT's. I'm only curious for a ballpark.

Getting into dental school ?!?
people get accepted with 3.0 gpa's in dental school.. yahoo answers really isnt the place to be looking for dental school information though. If you score a 22+ on DAT I bet you would have a chance getting accepted into at least ONE dental school if you have research or anything like that under your belt.

As stated above the average gpa for dental schools is a 3.5 but there are students yearly who are accepted with below 3.'s and rejected with 3.4 gpa's Dental school admissions requires some luck when under the 3.5 mark.
Reply:3.5+
Reply:3.0 or better....good luck! It's really hard going to dental school, and it costs a lot of money.
Reply:I don't honestly know, my GPA was 3.5 in biology with a chemistry minor. I was rejected twice by multiple schools. My DAT scores in organic kept me out of dental school, and at my interviews they kept telling me to retake it to get that score up. My question was always, what the hell don't I know about organic chemistry that is going to make or break me in dental school. I refused to retake it to improve my 16 in organic, especially considering I destroyed biology, spacial relationships, reading comprehension, and math. I figured, if all the other scores, my GPA, and my devastatingly awesome personality weren't enough to overcome a poor organic score on the DAT (I got an A in organic both semester by the way) they could kiss my grits, especially considering that test is horrendous. I went to pharmacy school, now I'm the best pharmacist that formerly wanted to be a dentist that ever existed on earth. I thank the dental schools for rejecting me everyday.
