Will dental school rescind acceptance for a C-?

[Stephen Migliore]

In the event that I get accepted, should I be concerned with getting a C- in physics? Thanks

I believe that most, if not all schools, require at least a C for completion of a prerequisite. I believe that physics is a prereq for most schools as well. To be sure, I would call in to verify.

I think it depends on the school. Best to not drop TOO low from what your grades have looked like but I personally don't see schools rescinding acceptances unless you simply don't meet their standard so like Harambe14 stated, I wouldn't get a C- if their cut off is a C. Just my thoughts for what its worth🙂

This could be me next semester with physics 2, yikes.

You'll need to retake on a C- prior to matriculation. So, get a C or better and you won't need to worry about a possible rescinding.

Thanks, just wondering where you found this out? Is it possible that because many colleges don't run on a +/- system that they meant a C in general?

@Harambe14 is right. At one of my interviews, admissions officers said you MUST get a C at the minimum, and that a C- DOES NOT meet the standard and will lead to the acceptance being rescinded.

I haven't seen a college that doesn't run on a +/- system. The closest I've seen are colleges that do not do A- and consider 90-100 an A. Also, there are some schools that consider 95-100 an A+ and that GPA may be a 4.3 or 4.6.

Regardless, a C- is a 1.7 GPA. A C is a 2.0 GPA. A 2.3 is a C+ GPA. I doubt they want under a 2.0 for a required course. Your best bet is to confirm with the school of your choice.

Okay well guess I'm about to start studying like my life depends on it. Thanks for the feedback guys. See you all in two weeks

I attend a major state university and we don't have + or -'s. Nor does the local Community college. While I lose out on a potential 4.33 averaging into my GPA, I'm not complaining since a quarter of my A's would probably be A-'s at other schools.

A friend of mine was finishing up his pre-reqs during summer quarter and got a C- in anatomy. His dental school immediately took away his acceptance, and now he's having to do some sort of associated masters program to regain acceptance for next year. I know every school has different policies, but if I were you, I would try my absolute hardest to get at least a C.
