I think most schools do but if you took courses at a community college they will scrutinize your DAT scores more heavily in sections pertaining to the courses you took at the cc.

Also, going to community college alone won't get you into dental schools. I think all dental schools require that you have experience at a 4 year institute. I know you didn't ask this but I decided it was worth putting down anyways!

I am pretty sure that all schools will accept CC credits, however they limit them. The figure is usually 60 credit hours. BU (I think) is a little lower (eg 45 hrs)

VCU questioned my ability to suceed in Dental school based on the number of credits I had at a CC. In fact they said they needed more credit from a University before they cuold get a real feeling about getting accepted there. I think it would be wise to make sure you transfer to a University soon. 60 credits at CC then move on to University.

That reminds me.... I have 75 or so hours from CC. In Florida (I am not sure about other states) you are only allowed to transfer 60 to the University that you attend. Hence, I had to complete the remaining 60 at UF.

I have already a Bachelor Degree in Biochemistry from a 4 year University, but I took the first 2 years at CC.
The thing is I have another BS taken in Europe, so I am not sure how they going to look at my CC classes.

What classes did you take at the cc? I took 1 yr. of gen bio, g chem, o chem, and calc at the cc. I had no problems with any school.
