For someone who has a foreign degree ( therefore unrecognized by AMCAS ) , which of the 2 scenarios would ADCOMS favor better for someone who is doing undergrad courses in the USA , 120 credits for a community college ( mostly laboratory and science courses ) + 30 credits of pre-medical , pre-req courses from Harvard Extension School or 70 credits for a second bachelors degree ( mostly laboratory courses/ sciences ) earned toward a second bachelors degree at an accredited 4-year institution + 30 credits of pre-medical , pre-req courses from Harvard Extension School ?

I would suggest posing your question in the pre-med subforum. Most of us here are public health students/applicants who don't know enough about medical school admissions to give you a beneficial answer. As far as I know, you don't need a second bachelors; you just need to redo your pre-reqs, preferably at a four year institution.

lol i don't like being mean, but harvard extension school ain't harvard and it isn't anything more different than say, like I don't know, university of chicken nuggets or something.
