Some of the higher mds care a bit....but your gpa matter more
GPA and MCAT matter most. 2 years at a CC should not really hurt you, but many people also recommend you take some upper-level courses after you transfer to the university; to show you can handle their work as well and you didn't get a high GPA just from going to the CC.
Personally, I would do the CC major that has at least some to most of the basic pre-reqs. That way, you'll have some out of the way at least. If business has that, then sure why not, but if not, don't unless you're truly interested imo. But, I'm only going to be a college freshman as of this fall, so maybe some others who've gone through the process can shed some more light on the subject.

IMO, It depends on how many years you plan on doing at the CC.
I plan to go for 1 year and then transfer. So in theory, I wouldn't have to take the pre-reqs at the CC if I was afraid of not looking competitive.
However, you talked about getting your Associates, so that would require 2 years. And it would be very hard to finish all your pre-reqs by your Junior Year. so you could do like the others say and take your upper level sciences at a University.
But honestly, there's no clear-cut way from CC to Med School. So take everything said with a grain of salt.
Good luck 👍
Thank you all
Well, if you had to choose one or the other, I would choose my hand before community college. That's just me though.
Would you like a box of tissues to keep you company?
Most transfers don't bother getting an associates. Most just research what they need to finish their degrees at their 4 year college. And obviously there's no clear-cut way from a CC to Med school, you need a bachelors lol. But obviously it is doable.
Generally if you're doing upper level bios at the Univ level and getting A's then coursewise your lower level pre-reqs at the CC won't be too offensive to adcoms. But anyways, my view is leave orgo and physics for the university level. Everything else is fine at the CC level.
