So, I keep hearing that Temple doesn't accept students who have completed some of their undergrad work at CC. I went to their website and no where did I see anything being mentioned about this. According to their website:

Completion of a minimum of 90 semester hours from an accredited college or university is required for admission. Students who have completed a baccalaureate degree are given preference in the admissions process. In addition, students who have been educated in universities outside the U.S. or Canada are required to complete at least one year of college and all the dental prerequisite courses in the U.S. or Canada.

Now, I'm guessing when they say "accredited college or university" they're also considering community colleges, right?
If so, why is everyone saying Temple doesn't accept units completed at CC?

P.S. The reason I'm asking this is that I completed the first two years of my undergrad at a community college and then I transferred to UCLA. All the units I took at CC were transferable to UCLA and they were counted toward my undergrad credits.
 
One of my friends who got tons of CC got interview last yr.

The only school u should avoid is Tufts. I will guarantee u that this info is true.
I went to CC and got 56 credits there. And I am not applying to Tufts. I confirmed it three times.

Thanks dude! Yea, I'm not applying to Tufts anyway!
 
I read in the 2009 ADEA Official Guide to Dental Schools that Temple does accept CC credits, but that they limit them to 6. It also says that TUFTS does not except any.
 
Why not try calling them and ask them directly??
 
That helps with Temple because they like to see your interest in their school... I guess all of them do, but Temple really does.
