Hi, I was wondering if you could help answer a question I have. I watched your previous videos and I remember seeing you said you took a lot of your dental school Pre-reqs at cc. Were they transferred over to your university or did they stay as cc credits?

I transferred most of them over to university, but not all of them transferred over. Nonetheless, I still submitted my transcripts from CC to AADSAS and they were on my dental school apps. They don't see CC credits transferred to university any different than just CC credits, they're the same thing

@@ThinkingInProgress thanks for replying! I was asking because I took chem at cc but it was all online and I found it hard for me to understand concepts teaching myself so I withdrew. I transferred to UMD and took it this semester but also withdrew due to a lot of circumstances and my school only allows 2 retakes unless I appeal. In the case they don’t allow me to take it again, I was going to take it at cc but I don’t think it would be allowed to be transferred over and I know it’s a dental school Pre req. withdrawing from gen chem 2x already looks horrible but then to not have it be transferred to my bachelors degree feels like a serious blow. Do you have any advice you could give me?

@@lesleynicole1658 you can take the class over at community college without having to transfer it over as a prereq, the attempts at CC should also not count towards how many times your school should allow you to retake a class, but that would be something to check with your school about (I've never heard of that being a problem in California, but it might be different at UMD). I wouldn't worry about having the W on your record, I had one for Organic Chemistry as well from CC and retook it at university and got a C. You may have to explain it to the schools you apply to if they ask in interviews though, but that shouldn't be an issue.
