Should I take pre-health courses at a community college after transferring or graduating from a 4-year University?
According to a Medical School Admissions Director, the most competitive applicants to medical school tend to have completed most, if not all, of their premedical courses at a 4-year college/university. Students who transfer from a community college to a 4-year college/university should not return to a community college to complete the premed courses. However, should they choose to complete some/all of the premedical courses at a community college they are strongly encouraged to then return to a 4-year college to complete advanced courses in the sciences to demonstrate their ability to handle a curriculum similar to the types of courses they will encounter as a medical student.
