Better to go to CC and get transferred or enter a University?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

Hello College Confidential Community,

I have been up late thinking about what should I do with my life. I am very confused and need some advice or to see if anyone has experienced through what I am going through. I want to major in Medicine (Don’t know for sure) and am having trouble what to do. I want to see if I can do well in a CC so I can get transferred into a good college like UGA. The only problem is, since I want to go to medical school and they need me to take core classes in a university, should I go into a moderatly ranked university? Here are my stats:
Freshman Year:
Algebra I- 95
Latin I - 94
Geography - 93
Biology I - 86
Literature and Composition I - 89
Foundations of Manufacturing - 91
GPA: 3.79
EC: Flood

Sophomore:
AP Psychology - 85
Chemistry I Honors - 79
World History - 89.5
Geometry - 84
Robotics - 95
Latin II - 96
Literature and Composition II - 84
EC: Flood and Beta Club
GPA: 3.5

I know these aren’t that bad, because there are people with lower GPA’s, but I want to go to UGA, and my Sophomore year was to help me and boost my GPA (took two other Honors and AP, but got out of both) I wanted to see if I can go to community college and improve and maybe be transferred, but I am not sure if that is possible. The only problem is, since I want to go to medical school and they need me to take core classes in a university, should I go into a moderatly ranked university? Here are next year Juniors classes

Junior: (Predictions)
AP U.S. History - B
AP Environmental Science - B
IB Math Studies - B
Advance Algebra (Teacher recommended me to take Pre-Calculus, and take Advanced Algebra online) - A/B
Latin III - A
American Literature - A
AP Biology or AP Physics A (not sure) - B
Real World Enterprises - A
GPA: Don’t Know, hopefully better than prediction!

The only problem is, since I want to go to medical school and they need me to take core classes in a university, should I go into a moderatly ranked university? If I graduate with a 3.7-3.9 with a mediocre SAT/ACT score, will I get into any good universities in-state (Georgia)?

I would also like to add my race is Asian, specifically Indian.

Does it matter what ethnicity you are? Please HELP!

It does matter what ethnicity you are, colleges look for diversity on their campuses. I don’t know much about UGA but you have good grades, not excellent, but not bad either, and if you could get into UGA with those, that would be great. But, you can definitely get into other schools with those grades too, so you shouldn’t just limit yourself to UGA, unless it is absolutely the only school you want to and can go to.

Thanks for the reply. UGA is my top school, my others are Emory or Georgia State. Maybe North Georgia since it’s near by. Does anyone know if it is easy to transfer into Emory also? I heard if you transfer, you should have a 3.5-3.7 in CC. I was worried that CC would be difficult, but lots of people say it’s easy, because you have lots of time. As long as you have good work ethics, you should be fine.
