College Switch...

I originally started my college career as a Journalism Major...after having a change of heart, I have moved on and started over at a different institution. I am now a Bio Major and moving full force toward my passion, a career in dentistry. My question is, can I omit grades from the first college I attended since the classes completed have nothing to do with my current major? I browsed another thread with a similar subject, but I never recieved the answer I was looking for. Thank you in advance for your help.

NO! Everything needs to be reported. If they catch you hiding grades you can kiss your prospects for dental school good bye.

Thank you blankguy I really appreciate the help. I guess I have to pay back my remaining bill sooner than I had originally expected.👎

Speaking of switching schools, do the dental schools look down upon more than one transfer to a different school during undergrad?

why not stick with journalism? I think itll set you apart from the other applicants.

And I dont think transferring hurts. it just makes the process more complicated and costly (bc you have to send transcrips and get LORs from different locations). I went to three schools so i'm speaking from experience - > it was a pain, but it didnt seem to hurt my chances.

Cool, thanks. Do you have to have LORs from all the different schools? I'm at my third school, but don't plan on transferring again I only transferred the first time because I moved from Arizona to Colorado and then I transferred from a community college (which I went to so I could save money) to CU. I plan to graduate from CU.
