I have 5 schools on my transcript. Wait! Let me explain. #1 University is from my high schools dual enrollment program. Which I did not know counted as a college class. So when I went into my first real college #2 University they counted me as a transfer. Bad. The school had a million administration problems and was poor in my major so i transferred to #3 University. I have been going there to my new school #3 which I love ever since. except. I went to a CC one summer for a comp class. and moved to another state going to the stae college there for the summer.#5 University. I really have only been to 2 school which is not awful. My question is: Does this show anything negative to the dental schools i will apply to rather than being a hassle to get all those 3 cred transcripts. and 2nd I like #5 university. I am now a res of my new state and it would give me a great financial break to go. My school #3 allows me to be a transient there for up to one semester and I have been thinking about that. Good idea. or no? I know. I love writing essays. Thank you for your time.
 
I'm not here to insult you but your sentence structures are also a wreck!

To answer your question, you need to send transcripts from All college/universities you have attended. It doesn't matter whether you liked/hated that school. D-school will be able to grab a hold of your records by using your SSN so if you misreport it, it could cost you dearly.
 
I have transcripts from 4 universities. It shouldn't look bad.

What DOES look bad is taking hard classes at community college when you are enrolled at a 4 year school. That looks like you're trying to pad your GPA.

In the process of over analyzing my sentence structure, which was written at 10:-- at night, you completely missed both of my questions. So thank you for your...well what I will refer to as a statement. You are right you are not here to insult me. So don't.

Thanks. Good to know someone else is doing it. I didn't take a hard class at the cc. It was just a general.
 
My father is on a selection committee for a professional post graduate program. That being said he yelled at me when I was about to transfer to a different university my freshman year. He said that it can only be looked at negatively or less likely not care. It Shows a lack of commitment and a sense of indecisiveness. But he isn't related to the dental profession, he is in the medical profession. So who knows...

So in your situation you may want to explain yourself through the AADSAS app or supplemental apps.
 
I also have 5 transcripts with 3 of them being out of state. It is a pain to get everything in order but you will have to fill out a transcript matching form for each school, send it to those schools and have them send it to AADSAS/TMDSAS (which I did). It will take them from 1-3 weeks to complete so it is best for you to hop to it and send the requests out. For TMDSAS they show that they have received the transcript and is processing it which you should be alright, since you know they have received it. For AADSAS however they do not show you they have received it, just shows when they are done processing it to expect to wait at least 2-3 weeks for the change. If your application does not show they have received it, you should give them AADSAS a call and see if they received it. If not you will have to request new transcripts. Also it is also good to call the registrars office for each school after a week or so to see if they have received the requests and are processing the transcripts. I sent my requests in on the 1st of June and did not get everything verified till the end of June.
