Hey Everyone,
I am currently a junior at a 4-year institution. I was looking into taking a few business courses my senior year that could possibly help me start my own practice one day. The only problem I have is that I still have 4 gen eds remaining because some of my classes didn't transfer properly when I transferred schools. I would have to take around 18 credit hours a semester for my three remaining semesters in order to take all of the classes I want to complete, which sounds awful. I looked into taking 2 gen ed courses over the summer, but a lot of the summer classes at my university are 4-week classes. It would be awful to try and balance those short classes with research and work. I looked into attending the community college in my hometown and they offer 8-week gen ed courses, which would be way more balanced throughout the entire summer as opposed to rushing through material in 4 weeks. I was wondering if dental schools would look down upon someone who took several gen eds at a community college? I have a 4.0 GPA and got a 25 AA on the DAT, so I hope these scores would definitely show admissions committees that I'm not taking these classes to make my application look better. I really just want to make sure I have time to take the business classes that I am interested in taking my senior year. Does anyone have any advice on what you think I should do?
