Hi everybody,

Just got accepted and sent in my deposit for dental school. I'm taking a few classes this semester, but only one course I am taking now is "required" prior to matriculation. I have a degree and don't need the other (anatomy and physiology).....

I would like to withdraw from the course and get some $ back/free up some time for more hours at my job. Would you drop it?

ThankS!

(Obviously it wouldn't hurt to finish the class...but I have the books and can go through the material on my own if it's THAT helpful of a class)

Call up your dental school and ask.

Yeah same as above. If they say no, tell them you want to save for upcoming spending at dental school rather than postbac lol.

Call the school. If possible, it's better to save money in this situation imo.

Btw, if I may ask, how long have you been doing the post bac for?

Thanks guys. I had called them before I posted this thread, but the response was weird.

They said "it should be fine".....I said " it should be or it is fine to drop it" ....She said "yeah, I don't foresee it being a problem" (not very comforting)
* I have trust issues with admissions people

NEWAY...I emailed them the situation and question so that I will have their response in writing

Longhorn: Aug 2012-may 2014, and this current semester
9 courses total (36 credit hours)

Looking back: I should have taken BIO 1, CHEM 1, ORGO 1, and Physics 1 all in one semester, then finished up the next semester... coulda been a D2 by now , smh

Lol yeah I would def call them again and make your statement clear(which you did). That should hopefully do the trick. If not, email them lol

Ah I see! I'm in a post bac also and was curious how many hrs people took. I took 12 credits (3 courses) last semester and got A's and I hope to continue that success this semester and next.
It'll all be worth it bud 🙂 Congrats again on the acceptance!
