The problem is that many if not most of my prereqs are from CC classes. Does these mean I cannot apply or will be rejected to many schools? Is there any chances they can only consider the prereqs CC courses instead of the GE? I am stressed as it now means I have to remove a lot of classes from the list below. Any advice or tips would be helpful? Please advise me on what my chances are?

Above is my School list. My DAT is PAT: 18, QR: 21, RC: 21, Bio: 20, GC: 24, OC: 30, TS: 23, AA: 23.
Do you have any upper-level biomedical science classes (preferred courses like microbiology, biochemistry) that are from four-year programs?

Oh that low PAT... and what are your GPA's?

You need to remove the schools that don't accept CC credits or those that have limits (if you are past those limits). Briefly looking at your list, UCLA, UCSF, Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, etc. have limits so.... Getting into dental school is very competitive and schools will find any reason to reject applicants to reduce their applicant pool.

No. Everything is considered and counted.

I'd recommend adjusting your school list
