Attempt to transfer now? Or wait?

So I have read a ton of threads on Community College and I know it is a topic that probably gets old. But I'm currently at one right now. I started with basic classes cuz was a slack off in high school and had to start from the bottom. Any way I'm at the point now where I dunno if I want to take to many pre med reqs at my cc, cuz I'm afraid they will look bad. If I were to stay at the cc and get my 2 year transfer in biology this would be my schedule

Fall
Gen chem
Gen bio
Calc 1

Winter
Gen chem2
Gen bio 2
Calc 2

Fall
Gen chem 3
Gen bio 3
Calc 3

Summer
Spanish ( idiot and didnt take langue at highschool)
Statistics

Fall
Physics 1
Spanish

Winter
Physics 2
Spanish

Spring
Physics 3
Anthropology

That is the schedule my advisor gave me. However that is a good around of pre med reqs I would be taking at a cc.

If you're nervous about doing too many science pre-reqs at a CC, you could knock out a few of the softer pre-reqs, like the English/writing classes.

If you're nervous about doing too many science pre-reqs at a CC, you could knock out a few of the softer pre-reqs, like the English/writing classes. Are you a freshman? If so, that's a pretty intense coarse load for your first year. I would probably swap out calc or chem with a language, social science or English until you get in the swings of things.

I have already taken

Math:
all the way thought pre calc

English
101, 102

Psychology, history, communications, sociology.

But I still dunno if it's enough to transfer to a uni because I still need to take a language. Plus I emailed the university of Washington. I live in seattle and they told me they recommend I finish my two year. But that doesn't help the fact when I apply to med school i have a bunch of cc class's

Since you're planning to major in biology, I wouldn't worry too much about it. It would be different if you were a history major and were taking all of your pre-reqs at a CC, but as a bio major, you'll take plenty of upper level science classes (and orgo) at a 4 year school. Doing well on the MCAT could also go a long way in easing any doubts the ADCOM might have.

I've heard great things about UW. Good luck!
