Hay guys
So my basic situation is that I'm finishing my last year of my degree! I'm doing a Bsc majoring in human anatomy and structural biology at the University of Otago in N.Z. My problem is that for my first year i failed 3 papers (my head was not in the right place at the time), which drops my average significantly, my second year i managed to get 65% average. So after taking long hard look at myself i decided to do summer school this year along with my first semester results I am currently sitting on an A- (82%).
Now i want nothing more than dentistry. With the grades that i have at any other university this is pretty much impossible. As i will be sitting overall in the 65%-70% range for my entire degree. To my knowledge UMAT is not taken at JCU nor grades to an extent. I have been told the application form has the largest weighing?
I was wondering, if i do really good in the written application form for JCU, would i have a slight chance. I got myself involved in Uni this year. I'm a class rep for numerous papers, have done some voluntary work and take notes for disabled people at uni! along with that i have three good refrence letters. The thing is JCU concentrates on rural Australia and I'm from N.Z.
What are my chances of getting in?
