Ok I am currently enrolled at mccc, completeing my associates of science. My plan is to finish my degree (bachelors) at u of m Dearborn. (financial reasons) however to get in to dental school I hear it is very competitive, I work at a dental office as an assistant so I’m constantly bothering the doctors with questions, anyway does anyone know if I should just take all of my classes at u of m? I’m worried because I did great in high school just not so much on my ACTs/ SATs. should I just bust my butt in community college then transfer or will the dental school not even look at me for taking undergrad studies at a community college?
You just should not (and technically cannot) take the prerequisite courses at a community college. Other courses which have nothing to do with dentistry may not be as much of a problem. Also, for the remaining number of credits required for matriculation into dental school, often times only a certain number of community college credits are acceptable for fulfilling that requirement.
