Hello fellow SDN'ers,

I've been perusing the forums for an answer to my question. Will taking General Chem 2 in the summer affect my dental school application? Will taking any other pre-req classes in the summer also affect my app? By the way, is there any advice, in regards to study, that can be given for taking a summer session course, especially if I go through with Chem 2 in summer.

Thanks to all in advance,
Farhad

No, won't matter.

if you're taking it at community college, then yes it would matter. Try to take it at university level at all costs for any science courses.

Hey sjv, BabyShades and ICUrunning, thanks much for the replies.

I am currently at Stony Brook University and was planning to take it here. That should be fine going by what you have told me. Thanks a lot for the help.

Took both gen chems over the summer. 4-year university. No issues.

I took both over the summer as well (2 before 1, I don't recommend that order!) and it didn't have any adverse effects on my application. The only thing was I felt I had to study a bit more on gem chem for the DAT because I had some holes in my knowledge from taking it quickly and in reverse order.
