If I goto a comunnity college do I have less of a chance of getting into a university or will it be the same as if I go to a 4 yeas state college?😕
 
You could always just work your butt off for the first semester of CC and then switch to either a state college or university. For med school, you need to achieve a bachelor's degree first, CC only earns you an Associate's.

No.

It depends, but normally yes. You could do two years at a CC and transfer. Or even just one year would be fine. CC classes are GENERALLY easier than your regular university classes. The transition from a CC to a regular four year institution is a fairly painless process.
 
If you go to a decent CC, your science classes should be just about as equally hard if not harder than University ones, as often they aren't curved. The upside of the CC is that you have a much smaller class size, 20 compared to 400 for intro bio at my schools, and the teachers are much more dedicated about teaching than those at research universities. Non-science classes will be pieces of cake if you pay attention.

Back to your question, do you mean transferring from a CC or a State School to a University? If you're in CA, it's much easier to transfer from a CC than it is from a CSU because they reserve seats at the UC's for transfer students from CC's, but not from CSU's. Also, most of the UC's have guaranteed transfer programs. For example, the school I went to, UC Irvine, said that as long as I got B's in my year of G chem, and got a 3.0, I would be accepted to the university and the school of Biology. I know UCLA has a similar program.

If you meant do you have a worse chance of getting into a Uni after going to a CC, I would say no.
