i'm accepted, but i still have to take my physics II requirement (which i am taking currently). my question is, do schools really care what grade i make in the class as long as i pass? as you all can imagine, it's tough to find the motivation to study. i mean will schools care if i pass with a C? i just DO NOT CARE about this class now, but i don't want to jeopardize an acceptance. thanks for the input-

I would say that physics is a bit more important than say your psychology class because it is part of the admission requirements at the d-school. So you may need to continue getting the grades in that class that are in-line with the grades you rec'd on the other pre-reqs.

As for your psychology (and anything else for that matter) type classes, I would say that C's probably wouldn't keep you out of schol, but why chance it..

You've worked so hard to get where you are right now so I would suck it up and finish out the semester strong. I mean you don't want to get yourself used to being lazy and slacking off especially the semester before you start dental school. Just my 2 cents

I know Pacific expects at least a B in all classes before matriculation. Any thing less requires approval from the admissions office.

In Physics, I'm sure a C would be fine. In fact, you could call your school and ask if you even have to take it anymore, and there's a great chance that they'll say no. Several of my schools said I didn't have to take it after receiving acceptances from them. I'm referring to Physics 2. I'd already taken Physics 1 prior to acceptances.

also....what schools said you did not have to take the class? just curious if i'm applying to any of the same ones.

At Temple, you have to maintain a C average in your last year....

Second the motion! I'm registered to take physics II spring semester, and I can take it, but it conflicts with some classes I'd rather take if I had my druthers... I really didn't know that you could do that! Well, I guess it's not something they especially want to advertise 😀

Gavin,
How come Arizona doesn't do the same? I couldn't fit both O chem Labs into my schedule and while other schools will waive it, Arizona won't waive anything. Any insight?
