Hey, guys. I was wondering if I can take physics at community college? I know I shouldn't and it's frowned upon by most schools to take a pre-req at a CC, but I've just heard that physics is hell at A&M and I'm worried it will drop my GPA. Please help!

Most importantly work hard and get a good grade, make sure you do your practice problems.

Doesn’t matter where you take your courses, the grade is of only importance as well as some dental schools not accepting community college credits in general.

I took almost all of my prereqs at our local community college. I actually found my classes at the CC harder than some of the university classes I took. Dental schools know that colleges/professors offer varying levels of difficulty, which is why the DAT is the more standard metric. If you have a 3.1 GPA but a 27 in the DAT, that's gonna look a lot better than the university student with a 4.0 and a 17 DAT score.



TLDR: Where you got your credits matters to a very select few schools (maybe around 3?). I wouldn't worry about it and just do research ahead of time on where not to apply to save money.
