    Has anyone heard of someone who failed a class/got a bad grade (below C), repeated it and got accepted into dental school?

    If so, were they questioned about it in the interview?

    Yes! As long as you explain the circumstances, you will be okay.

    Failed multiple classes and had incomplete courses on my transcript, it was never once discussed during my interviews.
