Where does the prestige boost end?

My advice to my own daughter (who attends a rigorous LAC) was that IF she decides she wants to be a doctor to come home and take her basic sciences at either our local community college or local state university after she has graduated. There is no reason to try and compete for an A in the sciences against her current, high achieving, peers.

In the pre-med forum section, it is commonly said that medical schools do not like to see pre-meds doing that to avoid competition in their primary college or university.
