so i’m thinking medical school… I need advice from those who might know…I read online at my states med school that an undergrad considering pre-med should complete Gen Bio I/II, Gen Chem I/II, Organic Chem I/II, Calc Physics I/II, Calc I/II and advanced work where possible (for me that would be biology and genetics)…Now, here’s the tricky part. I’ve had some academic issues in the past (that’s another thread entirely) and have to start at a community college…I can complete (most of) the above courses at my CC…first i wanted to know if hard science courses like organic chem would even transfer to a 4yr towards a degree in bio or would they be counted towards the gen ed reqs but maybe not my major? and if they do transfer i’m worried that completing the foundation courses at a CC won’t be looked upon kindly when applying to med school…i am so confused…pls help me!
