<p>hey everyone,</p>

<p>is that advisable to take physics in a community college in the summer?
what are the pros and cons? will that look bad on the transcript?</p>

<p>i am a bio major, so taking physics is just to fulfill premed requirement. and some ppl suggest that we won't use physics in the future anyway, and physics on mcat is fairly easy. is that true? is taking physics in a community college will hurt me acing mcat physics part?</p>

<p>i have talked to an admission officer, and he said it doesn't matter if we wanna take summer courses in schools other than home school, but we didn't mention whether community college will actually hurt.</p>

<p>will they think i take the easy way out?</p>

<p>i mainly just wanna have more hours to take other classes during school year.</p>

<p>thanks!!</p>

<p>i called some med schools once b/c i had a similar problem... </p>

<p>they said they'd rather NOT see us take the pre-med requirements at a place other than the home institution.</p>

<p>i dont think they care about GEs or non-premed requirements though.</p>
