Okay, I have a problem. So I took Dual credit courses during high school, and it was the dumbest decision of my life. My government teacher assigned more than 50% C's in the class, and my economics teacher barley anyone received an A. I made a C in government and a B in economics. My community college GPA is a 2.5. I am enrolled in a different community college and expecting a 4.0 in there with just two history classes and the second government class. At the University, my overall GPA is a 3.452 and my science GPA is a 3.45. The problem is that the community college classes I took during high school is bringing my GPA down a lot. Would dentistry school look at that heavily? As in they will still look at my overall GPA when I applied and not take that as a consideration? Because I am expecting a 3.6-3.7 University GPA before I apply. With Community college classes may bring it down to a 3.5.

No one knows the answer to your question except dental schools. Call and ask. But upward trend is generally a good thing. It's better to have your poor grades at the beginning and tell admissions you weren't ready for college level work yet.

My guess? They'll brush over the work you did in high school at a CC. Especially if it is far surpassed by your more recent work at a University.

I dont know how much they will look at your CC GPA but as long as you have 3.5 GPA and 20 DAT. You will be fine. Remember to volunteer and shadow a general dentist....

Dont let that CC GPA bothers you, try harder at your current University and keep up the good work 🙂

My friend did 2yrs at community college and the other 2 at our state university. Coupled with his GRE made it into one of the top vet programs in the country. Dont worry about your comm college grades or hs, as long as your grades have ascended and you nail the dat youll be in good shape
