What are my chances of becoming a Dentist??? PLZ HELP!!

<p>i currently have a 3.7 GPA, is that enough?</p>

<p>i would like to go to UofM, with me being a minnesota resident, and from what i understand speaking with an orthodontist from my town, i found out that apparently i can take an Associates degree in something like chemistry, then apply for dental school.</p>

<p>once applied, and if accepted, dental school is 4 years from there minimum, so then is that it as far as mandatory schooling to become a dentist???</p>

<p>thanks</p>
