hey i agree with Gizmo. u do have a chance.... i heard that with dentistry though you need a lot of experience... so i'd pester your local dentists in your area for some unpaid work experience... they are bound to take you on board if you are doing it for free

and as for the tips as to why dentistry is the one, ask the dentists during your work experience why they became dentists...first hand accounts! besides you've still got a second year to go before you worry about applications... so u have a whole year to gather experience! i hope this helps
