Chances from a community college?

I go to a well recognized community college for my area(Bucks County Community College), and I plan on taking all of my med school pre-reqs here. Will med schools accept these courses the same as if I were to take them at a four-year school?

My plan is to transfer to Temple University after I complete an associates here and major in neuroscience. I won't have to take a large number of classes to complete this degree, so I was thinking that if my CC pre-reqs were not acceptable, then I could take more advanced physics classes that build off of general physics to prove that my education here wasn't a joke. I would already be taking more advanced bio and chem classes because of the neuroscience major, and they could have the same affect for my chem and bio. Does any of this make sense? Or am I crazy?

Your MCAT score will give proof that your CC prerequisites were not "a joke." You need not torture yourself with Advanced Physics. Maintaining high grades when you transfer will prove that the CC grades weren't easy As. Some schools look down on CC coursework, but there are plenty of others that won't care.
