Im about start college in January at a Community College, because I do NOT have a GED/High School Diploma..

I called the University I want to transfer too after I get a certain amount of credits...

Because I hear you have to have a 4 year bachelors for Dent schools to accept you..


The community college im going to has a "Pre-Dent" program which consits of Biology,Chem,Physics, and more..... Its a 2 year associates degree..

Should I just get that since im going to that college anyways?

HELP PLEASE? im so confused.. Because i thought dent schools dont like pre requisites from Community college...If so, than why does Community College have a pre-dent program??

Somebody please help!! 🙁
 
Some dental schools like Tufts does not accept any CC pre-reqs. Most do, however.
It's fine to take some pre-reqs at a community college. There's nothing wrong with that. In fact, many dental students started off like you; going to a community college then transferring to a university.
Try to limit the number of pre-reqs you take though.
I would transfer after your first two semesters. Take classes like math, english, gen eds, introductory chemistry and gen chem 1 and physics perhaps.
