[quote=Anonymous]We had planned on my DD going to community college for her first two years, then going to a 4 year school. She wants to go into the medical profession and we know how expensive that path can be. Then she did some research and learned some programs won't give credit for science classes taken at a community college, not even first semester bio/chemistry/physics. Once she got to the 4 year, she would have to retake them. That means she could do maybe one year at community college to take care of a bunch of non-science courses, but she'd still be looking at 3+ years at a 4 year college in order to fit in all the science classes. It's really frustrating, because it seems obvious that if she is able to get the required science GPA at both community college and 4 year, she'd be fine. Especially since all the programs also have an additional test (MCAT for med school, DAT for dental school) which would expose any weaknesses. It feels like a money grab.[/quote]
