Do 2 W's and 2 UD's really affect my chances? My GPA is good. I am kind of stupid when it comes to enrolling early and by the time i want to enroll only the bad professors are left. Also, I picked a couple classes I didn't need for my major such as Geology (dont ask me why).
second question. I took bio 1 and 2, chem 1 and 2, phys 1 and 2 and anatomy in a 4-year uni. I took Ochem 1 in a CC and I want to take Ochem 2 there too. Is it a problem?(I will take biochem in my state univ). I like that classrooms are smaller and classes are cheaper. Also, I am not even sure what dental school considers as a 2-year institution. Is there any website with that info? The school I am talking about is known as a community college but they offer 4 bachelors.
many thxss

1. I had more W's, got plenty of interviews and no one asked about it. I wouldn't worry about it especially since you have a good GPA. What are UDs?

2. Some schools don't accept CC credits for prereqs but most do. Check with the school.

Anatomy and Ochem

my top 1 school states that the accept up to 60 CC credits but idk how the look at them. In my opinion, the level is the same the only difference is the class size and the price.
Do you have any idea if a school that offers a bachelors is still consider a CC?

Where are you attempting to transfer? If this is a much better school and you take higher level science courses there I would think you’d be okay.

I already transferred to a 4 year school. I am taking classes at both places.

In interviews, don't go blaming bad professors for poor grades or at least frame it differently. If you do very well on the DAT in the organic chemistry section, I have heard from others here that schools will me more forgiving of poor grades. If I've learned one thing on SDN, its that upward trends look very good. As another pre-dental student, if I were in your situation, I would make absolutely sure that I do awesome in orgo 2 and orgo on the DAT. If you look around here more, you will find there is always time and a way to redeem yourself. I myself got an F as a freshman which caused me to entirely overhaul my approach to studying and suffice to say, it worked out very well for me.

Life happens so don't worry about the Ws. If you get interviews, the program doesn't actually care. Just focus on doing well on the DATs, get solid LORs, and write a genuine personal statement
