<p>Medical schools don’t want students at 4 year colleges using the local community college to by-pass their schools’ competitive organic chem or bio sequences. They are not discriminating against low income students who attend community college for financial reasons - on the contrary, the AMCAS application asks a lot of questions to identify if you are from a low income background. Second, medical schools don’t generally care where you did your undergraduate degree - they are looking at GPA and MCAT scores first and foremost, then medically-related ECs and your recs. Do not let attending a community college discourage you. Lastly, state medical schools-like University of Florida - give strong preference to in-state residents (14% or so of in-state applicants are accepted as compared to less than .05% of out of state applicants) so you have an advantage here. Finally, medical schools are quite explicit about what level of math they expect you to have completed: Most want to see a semester of college level math but that varies by school. Do some research to see what U of F and comparable schools would require.</p>
