Community college will ruin me

[Predent20192023]

I'm currently in my freshman year of college going into 2nd semester. I went to a 4 year University for the 1st semester and finished with a 4.0 GPA. I'm deciding to transfer out of that 4 year University due to financial difficulties and extreme dislike for the college. I realize when I attend this CC I will have to take some of the prerequisites there. Will this ruin my chances of getting into a dental school because I spent some time at a community college? I do plan on transferring to a 4 year University again after this semester or maybe after my sophomore year.

no you're being dramatic. Some schools don't accept CC prereqs but you are not ruined.

Can you list some schools that don’t accept?

Tufts does not accept CC courses

I went to a CC and didn’t get ruined.

I went to CC for my first 2 years and had plenty of interviews/acceptances.

Good choice, save some money. Just make sure you keep up the high grades both at CC and at whichever University you plan to complete your undergrad.

When I taught at UCSF, we have accepted many students (some with scholarships) with CC credits.

Downshifting may not be as detrimental to the aspirations you have, but your "extreme dislike for the college" doesn't say much about your ability to adapt to a new learning environment.

2015 Community College/Advanced Placement and DS Admission

For 2015 a few schools have become more lenient on their stance on accepting CC/ AP credits.
