Is there a difference between admission and accepted?

^^^ what @Gator88NE said. You apply before you finish your time at your CC. You tell the colleges what you are planning on taking (usually you apply in the Fall of your 2nd year). Typically they want a mid-year grade report. When they admit you in the spring your admission, like all admissions, is conditional. They expect you to finish the classes you listed and may have a gpa requirement. This is no different from HS where you apply senior year before you graduate, are conditionally accepted, and they review your transcript over the summer to make sure you really graduated and took the courses you said you would.

I’m hoping you misunderstood the advisor. If he/she really said wait until you finish your AA to start applying then you better find a different advisor!
