Generally when transferring, the grades from the previous school are not considered when the new school computes GPA.

However, like mom2 says—AMCAS will count every college level grade you ever have (even co-enrollment from high school, summer classes, CC credits, everything) when calculating your cum GPA and sGPA for medical school application.

Attending CC will not hurt chances provided: 1) you do well there–see above; 2) you take your medical school pre-reqs for Bio and OChem at a 4 year college after you transfer; 3) you do well at your 4 year college after you transfer.
