Hey whats up all

Im applying for the 2009 cycle and I graduated in the Spring of 07 with the following courses (with grades) completed at the bottom. Unfortunately, I didnt take courses like physiology or biochem...etc that alot of colleges require/advise students to take. The thing is, it would be much easier for me schedulewise to take some of these courses at community college rather than my university (i think biochem is only offered at university level). So based on the courses ive taken/scores i got at the university, would it not really have any effect on my application to dental schools if I took classes like physiology, microbiology, etc at a CC? Or would you highly recommend I stay away from CC for any science course?

Classes at my university:
-BIO I , BIO II [A], Genetics [A-]
-CHM I [A], CHM II [A]
-OCHM I , OCHM II [C]
-PHY I [A], PHY II [A+]

you don't need biochem and all those upper division classes for msot dental school.
I would suggest that you read up on each school to see its specific reqs.
Also, some schools have a limit on the amount of CC work you do.
Don't forget to get a great score on the DAT.

GOOD LUCK

I did look up schools specific pre-reqs, thats why I'm looking to take these classes. One of the schools im really interested in attending requires biochemistry and physiology, not to mention a whole slew of other dental schools that require them as well

It depends on how many classes you will be taking. It looks like you've taken a big chunk over at your university already so you should be OK.
