Community College vs. University (Pre-Reqs)

I will be graduating in December with a BA in Psychology. I found similar threads but most were related to Medical school and not PT. The only PTCAS pre-reqs I have is BIO 1 & 2, Stats and a few psych classes. I have yet to take A&P 1 and 2, Chem 1 and 2, and Physics 1 and 2. I can stay an extra semester or two at my Uni OR graduate then go to CC and finish my pre-reqs for about a third of the price. Which would you do and why?

Thanks to all in advance!

I would figure out what PT programs you want to apply to and contact their admissions people. Find out if they care what school you take the pre-reqs at, and decide from there.

In that situation, I'd go with whatever is cheapest.

I would go with the cheaper route. In that case, it would be the Community College.

I would make sure that CC courses are alright with the schools you're applying to. I don't think it would be a problem but I would inquire just in case.
