[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plenty of kids who start out at CC get into med school. I wouldn't obsess over this. She should pick the right school for her based on whatever else is important to her, and then get the highest grades possible, especially in the science pre-reqs. She should make sure to take the classes that will help her with the MCAT (people forget that physics in on there). And she will want to get experience that shows her interest in medicine -- whatever that might look like for her as far as her interests and what opportunities are available. That experience could be a fancy internship in a lab doing cutting edge research on cancer, it could be learning about compassion while working long shifts as a CNA in a nursing home, it could be assisting on investigations for a medical examiner's office, it could be working as an EMT when home from school during summers (if you are in a rural area, that's great, an urban area, great, a suburban one, great -- learning opportunities everywhere there). Or whatever.   [/quote]

Community college classes are often not held in same regard as four-year college classes for medical schools.

Please see advice of medical school deans on this, not sure why DCUm has so many armchair experts who know nothing about the process:
