Is this correct?

If so, how badly will community college look? Is it worth pursuing a med school (3.6 CC GPA / 4.0 science GPA) from community college?
[SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1] If you are considering attending a two-year college first, you may want to reconsider: Many medical schools do not include community college grades when calculating GPAs. This then requires that your prerequisites be taken at a four-year institution (otherwise you could officially have no science GPA!). Even if the medical schools to which you apply do accept your two-year-college science courses, they will likely weigh the two-year courses less than those at most four-year colleges, and this will hurt your chances of acceptance.[/SIZE][/SIZE]
