Hello everyone, I a a student that graduating this June and decided to apply for dental school. I am thinking some of the school require microbiology, can I put that class as in progress and take it in community college after I graduated?

Also, I just took my DAT today and I only got 16 on my RC. Should I consider retake in sept. then apply or maybe I should wait one more year. But I got 21 for PAT and 19 for AA!

Thank u!
 
for I am a ucla transfer if adding ucla and CC 's gpa it will be around 3.8
 
Also double check for school cutoff minimums. It’s a little on the low side for DAT. What were the rest of your scores if you don’t mind sharing?

You can still get accepted with a 19 AA, just make sure all the other aspects of your application are solid.
 
I highly recommend you to retake. Some schools have cutoffs and your RC is not going to make it. Your other scores are just average so definitely get your scores up! I had a 15 RC on my first try and I chose to retake and it was the best decision I ever made. I'd say anything below 17 is a huge red flag.

Well what materials did you use? for RC I used multiple resources and tried different techniques. everyone is different so you should def find the best technique that works well for you.
