<p>Was reading over the pre-health handbook with my d who’s a chemE major at UF (probably going to med school). Anyway, I noticed that all the questions the OP is asking as well as what UF considers to be important as far as transfer credit (community college or elsewhere) and AP credit, etc., is listed. This is an excellent resource for those with pre-med questions considering UF.</p>
<p>^ Zaersz ok if our opinions aren’t backed up by fact, tell me a FACT that says that an applicant is not going to be accepted to a Med School with CC credits.</p>
<p>I already gave you an article literally stating "Getting your pre-med requirements at a community College should be avoided. " At this point I could care less if I have to convince you.
Most medical schools have near a 5% acceptance rate. Why would they reject so many qualified applicants who don’t have any community college, if it were so easy.</p>
<p>Talk to any student applying to a medical school. </p>
<p>At this point I encourage anybody to think they can get to medical school by using community college credit to do so. You are basically weeding yourself out and making it easier for people who decided to actually use university credit.</p>
<p>ok, for now i don’t need you to convince me, btw, you told me you were not going to UF in that disrespectful email you sent me, why are still posting here?</p>
<p>Zebes, thanks for the link, I found that really helpful and will refer that to some of my friends (I have no interest in going to med school). </p>
<p>lr2010, I’m not trying to be a jerk, none of this actually effects me at all, but if you think about it logically, if 60% of qualified applicants get rejected, that would mean the field is pretty darn good, so you should strive to make your resume as good as possible. Is it possible to go to a med school with CC credit, absolutely. But then again it’s also technically possible for someone with no education to become president of the United States. Being technically possible doesn’t make it likely.</p>
