I'm a transfer student

I transferred from a community college with a break in between. When i graduated high school I was really too immature to know what I really wanted to do. I got my 2 year degree in liberal nothingness with a very sucky GPA (Like 2.8) took a year off then decided I wanted to become a dentist and I went to Manhattan College as a Biochem major. I transferred in 30 credits (21 from Comm college and 9 from high school). I finished the rest of the 98 credits at Manhattan College and graduated with a 3.4 GPA (3.6 Sci). I got a 20AA 21PA on the DAT.

Now that I see I have to put ALL COURSES EVER TAKEN instead of the ones I took to get my B.S. I'm feeling kinda crappy about my chances now...


ALSO... How bad exactly is a "W"? I Have a few of these too...

Well, I think you need to be more optimistic. I think you've come a long way since your CC college years. You've managed to turn you 2.8 GPA into a 3.6 science GPA and you have earned some respectful DAT scores. I think the admission officers will definitely see and value your efforts.
W's, as we all know, happen. I think as long as you've had like 1-2/year it shouldn't be that big of a problem. They just don't want to see that withdrawing from a class halfway through has become a habit of yours (Hopefully that's not the case).
Good Luck👍
