Community College Transfer

I was wondering, if I went to community college for 2 years then transfered to a 4 year university, would I be able to do 4 years there or do I only have the option of doing the other 2 years? I want to do premed at a university, which is why I ask this question.

Why would you do six years odd undergrad that doesn't make sense

Yes, people do this all the time. You need to ensure that the credits will transfer before starting at the 2-year or you will end up doing another 4 at the university.

Good luck!

some words of wisdom...take your core requirements at a CC (1yr bio/1yr chem/1yr physics/calc). They're weeder courses everywhere might as well kill them off where grading will be a bit easier. Then when you get to University take a handful of upper level sciences to placate adcoms and show them you can do the work...dirty secret is grading is much easier outside the early weeder classes at most universities. Easiest path to a 3.9+ sGPA

Because I didn't do well in high school and can't get into university, I want to go to community college 2 years then transfer to a university to do 4 years there because I don't want to do premed at community college. Or is there an easier way to go about this?

I agree with this 100%
Take your hard weeder classes at a CC, just make sure to study hard and do well on the MCAT. Talk to a counselor and see if you can write up a transfer contract, as some community colleges will do this for you so you can transfer in to your school of choice.
