<p>Would med schools look down on me if I start at a community college and transfer to a university after a couple years?</p>

<p>A semester or two wouldn’t hurt.</p>

<p>Pulp Fiction is a great movie.</p>

<p>No, it wouldn’t. There are many medical school students that have started out at community college. Your MCAT score, if you score well, will take any doubt that those adcoms might have away.</p>

<p>I suggest you visit the many, many, forums on this on studentdoctor.com. </p>

<p>The only situation where I wouldn’t do CC, is if you’re already at a university and you’re take courses there over the summer, because then med schools will you just did it because it was easier.</p>

<p>But like I said, the MCAT is the big cheese.</p>

<p>Nope - in NC you can right to C Hill after 2 years at CC if you do the work and get the grades. Friend of my S saved tones of $ by doing the CC thing and now has a full ride at CH.</p>

<p>Our CC has an articulation with Cornell for over 20 science majors. If you finish your Associate’s degree with at least a 3.0, and have taken the required courses, you get in to Cornell as a transfer. You then can take the MCAT’s and finish your degree at Cornell. Great deal!</p>
