<p>For the best future for medical school, it is usually recommended not to take community college courses. However, I would like to know from personal experience which courses can really help, and more importantly not harm, in the process. I have seen few, like psychology, sociology, and math, but what are some others?</p>
<p>Are you still in HS and would take these as dual enrollment classes? Or are you already in college?</p>
<p>“it is usually recommended not to take community college courses” in your med school pre-req courses. Anything else, you’re fine to do. </p>
<p>If the OP is already a college student in a CC intending to transfer to a four year school, then it may not be realistic to delay all of pre-med courses until after transfer.</p>
<p>If s/he is a science major, then s/he will need at least some of the pre-med courses as prerequisites for his/her major. But then s/he will be taking advanced science courses after transfer anyway.</p>
<p>If s/he is a non-science major, then it may be hard to take all of the pre-med courses after transfer along with the non-science major requirements. But it can certainly be a valid strategy to leave some of the pre-med courses for after transfer so that they are not all taken at CC.</p>
<p>However, there are a few medical schools which do not accept CC courses for pre-med requirements at all, effectively shutting out the students who start at CC and then transfer to a four year school.</p>
<p>Dual-enrollment. I am just thinking beyond the horizon.</p>
