I'm a community college student right now and I'm going to transfer to a UC next year. I still have to complete a lot of pre reqs for dental school and I plan on taking 3 years to graduate.

How will adcoms perceive this schedule?

Year 1: (after transfer)
Orgo

Summer between 1 and 2:
Bio or get an internship...or both

Year 2 :
Bio (either finish the remainder or do the whole year)
Biochem (1 semester/ 2 quarters)

Summer between 2 and 3:
DAT prep
Take DAT

Year 3:
Physics

Of course this is excluding all the upper division classes for my major (psych)

I'm really unsure about this plan b/c it shows that I'm a sissy for not overlapping the classes, but it will help me get better grades...what do you guys think?
 
even though I'm taking the year of physics during applications and decisions?
 
I did three years at the CC (finished Ochem and Physics before I transferred to UCI), and I'm now finishing up my degree in my second year. Especilly since I took physics already there was very little to do other than upper dev classes - so there is a very good chance you could finish in two years.

The adcoms didn't seem to mind in my case, so don't stress. Good Luck!
