qustion about Physics

[Ashcash]

Hello all!

Im registered for this class PHYS 133 Principles of Physics, for this spring term however I couldnt get into PHYS 131 Liberal Arts Physics because there was no spots left, my questin is...is the PHY 133 class transferable for dentistry schools? Im thinking to keep the PHY 133 and take PHY 132 next summer since no PHY 131 classes are provided by the school for the summer...I mean do they count phy 133 as phy 131? Im about to finish my bach degree in BIO this winter. but since I cant take PHY 131 Im taking phy 133 now and phy 132 in the summer..what do you guys think?

I've heard that dental schools don't want the physics that is meant for non-science majors, so you might actually be in a better situation now. Call the dental schools you're interested in around you and see what they'd prefer.

Don't sell yourself short. YOU CAN DO IT! Plus I think Vicviper is right. Dental schools would want you to take the course version intended for science majors.

I contaced the school. They said they only need PHY131 and PHY132 which is for pre-dentistry...PHY 133 is more of an education field!!!

Ohhh, chalk that one up to different numbering systems, haha. My school had very similar numbering system for their physics classes and the Physics 130 was the really easy physics that the schools didn't want - and the later number one, with the title "Principles of Physics" was the one that some schools wanted. Haha, well, it's good that you found out - I'd suggest going to the first day of class and petitioning, tell the professor about your situation.
