Consider if you are satisfied with your current GPA or if you would change it if you could. Retrace your steps situationally on any aspects of your grades you'd like to explain. Sometimes life doesn't go according to plan. If you feel a life event had an impact on the outcome of your grades, carefully consider whether it is worth sharing. An event that was life-altering, such as a natural disaster or a loss, would be considered an acceptable consideration. Whereas breaking up with your high school sweetheart would not reflect well. It would more likely suggest that any emotional event could impact your success and that it is bound to happen again. The aim here is to showcase your dedication and ambition. Discuss what you learned from your setbacks.

"My current GPA is a fair reflection of my above-average ability in pre-dental coursework. You will see that my basic science GPA is even higher than my overall GPA, which is suggestive of my abilities within this field."
