Community college straight to med school?

[I wanna be a Cardiothoracic Surgeon]

If one gets a pre-med bachlor at a community college, what are the chances of being able to transfer right to a med school (if possible)?

This is assuming all pre-reqs are completed and a high gpa (3.7-4.0), also with very high mcat scores.

Thanks a ton!

no matter what your scores, you can't "transfer into a medical school"...you must apply. also you need to have gotten your bachelor's degree by the time that you matriculate. most medical schools (all medical schools pretty much) require this. and community colleges don't give bachelor's degree usually.
with prereqs you will also need clinical, volunteer, and/or research experiences.

In addition, I've never heard of a "community college" offering a bachelor's degree. Most community/junior colleges offer a two-year "associate's degree" which can be used to gain access to a 4-year university to obtain a bachelor's degree. With VERY few exceptions, you MUST have a 4-year degree to matriculate into a medical school.
