<p>I don’t think the validity of the SAT II as a requirement is being questioned here; rather, the caliber of community colleges compared to traditional four-year universities in the eyes of medical school admissions committees. There’s no question that CCC provides a great and very useful education. The fact of the matter is that most medical schools (including 12 out of the 13 that I applied to) simply do not accept community college courses, require advanced courses from four-year universities in addition to community college courses if they do accept courses, and/or STRONGLY recommend against using community college credit to fulfill any requirements for medical school.</p>
<p>So, technically speaking, could someone from a community college get into medical school? It sure seems that way. But is it advisable? From the standpoint of having a competitive candidacy for US allopathic schools, absolutely not.</p>
