Lackluster freshman year at CC

So I'm taking pre-reqs at a CC because my major (Biosci) requires it to matriculate. I don't think I did very well and am wondering if I can ever rebound.

Semester 1 Community College:
English 1: A
Geography: W
Intermediate Algebra: B

Semester 2:
Gen Chem I: B
Pre-Calculus: C
Physics 1: B
English 2: A

This ordinarily wouldn't worry me if I was at a 4 year, but since I'm at a CC doesn't this make it look even worse? I know dental schools look down on CC pre-reqs and am wondering how to fix this situation

Focus on your grades from now on and do well in a university. I was in a similar situation and I've kept my GPA at a 3.8 for the last three semester and its risen now significantly. A good DAT score will also show the admissions board that you're capable of handling the work in dental school.

Am I still at a disadvantage for taking pre-reqs at CC if I take upper division science classes at a 4 year?

No. If you do well in your upper divs and on the DAT, your CC grades become very legitimate.
