<p>CC classes <em>do</em> count, as long as UCLA will accept them for class credit. If it's just unit credit, then no. Check on assist.org.</p>
<p>I've heard from pre-med advisers, however, that you shouldn't take too many CC courses, or even CSU courses, during your stay at UCLA. Reasons are:
1. Courses taken at a CC or CSU will not count towards your UC GPA.
2. Med schools will start to wonder why you still took CC classes even though you're able to take them at UCLA. Their line of thought would be like: "So, you got into UCLA, but you're still taking CC courses? Does that mean you cant handle a school like UCLA?"</p>
<p>Of course, YMMV on #2.</p>
