Where should we target for merit aid?

She is planning to only use her community college credits for elective and gened requirements, and retake all prerequisite courses for med school so that should not be an issue. She has 60 credits and is only planning to use 30 so she can take the prereq classes at a 4 year school.

Repeated courses will have to be marked as such on the medical school application (see page 33 of https://aamc-orange.global.ssl.fastly.net/production/media/filer_public/62/da/62da475b-a81d-46f5-a765-32c352c586ab/aamc-2021-amcas-applicant_guide_jw.pdf ). It is likely that medical school admission readers will see repeated courses as a negative point (grade grubbing). Note that all college courses and grades (including those taken while in high school) must be included in medical school applications.
