If all of your units are non-UC lower division units (all community college units are lower division), then you will not be considered a high unit junior (80 units) or senior (90 units) for transfer purposes. Only 70 lower division units will transfer, but you will receive subject credit for all courses taken. See http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/counselors/files/uc-transfer-maximum-limitation-policy-chart.pdf . (Note: these are semester units; if you are at a quarter system school, multiply the number of quarter units by 2/3 to get the semester unit equivalents.)

If you must choose one type of courses over the other, complete the transfer prerequisites for your major first. You can complete the pre-med courses after transfer, and medical schools are said to prefer that you take at least some science courses at a four year school, rather than all at community colleges.
