<p>I am a high school junior taking 5 dual enrollment classes and will be taking more in the future because those are the hardest classes they offer at my school. I will have a lot of prerequisites out of the way by the time I graduate; however, should I take the classes over again when I go to a university because I heard that community college classes do not look as good as university ones?</p>
<p>While there are a few small number (3 or so) medical schools that will not accept pre-reqs done at a CC, most do. </p>
<p>There are also a number of schools that require pre-reqs to have been completed fewer than X years ago at the time you apply. You should check the admissions pages of all the public medical schools in your state to see if any of them have this policy.</p>
<p>Assuming you’re doing well with DE classes, I suggest you should plan on taking higher level science coursework when you get to college. Med school adcomms will want to see some more recent science grades in your application. </p>
<p>When you apply to med school, you will be required to send a transcript from the CC where you’re currently taking coursework. Adcomms will be able to see if you’ve repeated classes. Generally speaking adcomms prefer that students don’t repeat classes if they’ve done well in the course (C or better). (Retaking courses you’ve done well in makes you look like a “gunner”–which isn’t a good thing.)</p>
<p>Don’t retake. If anything, just take harder versions at a univ. So, take courses like Genetics, Cell Bio, BioChem, and so forth at a univ.</p>
<p>NO!!!
Colleges and med schools both like them better than an AP course. It meNs you can compete with college level kids and get an a vs just taking a test. In fact, if you google AP vs "dual enrollment, the ONLY people championing AP are adcoms who need ways to differentiate</p>
<p>Addendum
You should take advanced requirements at univ. Eg. Organic Chem at DE, perhaps biochemistry at univ</p>
