My niece went to medical school after starting her education at a California CC. It took her longer to finish (almost 5 years) due to some transfer issues – and because she took all her core med school requirements at the UC. (Most med schools did NOT want the core pre-med requirements done at a community college.) That was a few years ago (niece is now a 2nd year resident) so your daughter should verify this, but in general she should be very careful about the classes she takes at the CC and at the UC. She should also keep in mind the medicine-related ECs encouraged by med schools. I would suggest your daughter to get involved in them right away, since once she transfers to the UCs, and has to concentrate on keeping up a very high GPA, she may have less time to devote to the ECs.
