Abstract: We prove that sufficiently low-entropy closed hypersurfaces can be perturbed so that their mean curvature flow encounters only spherical and cylindrical singularities. Our theorem applies to all closed surfaces in

m a t h b b R^{3}

with entropy

l e q 2

and to all closed hypersurfaces in

m a t h b b R^{4}

with entropy

l e q l a m b d a (m a t h b b S^{1} i m e s m a t h b b R^{2})

. When combined with recent work of Daniels-Holgate, this strengthens Bernstein-Wang's low-entropy Schoenflies-type theorem by relaxing the entropy bound to

l a m b d a (m a t h b b S^{1} i m e s m a t h b b R^{2})

. Our techniques, based on a novel density drop argument, also lead to a new proof of generic regularity result for area-minimizing hypersurfaces in eight dimensions (due to Hardt-Simon and Smale).
