Does it matter where you take your prerequisites?

Hey everyone, I was wondering where everyone is obtaining their prerequisite credits from. Do schools factor in the competitiveness of the school you are transferring from? My final GPA as a chem major was 3.3 (I am two years out of school) from a really competitive undergraduate program. I am currently finishing up my BIO requirements part time at a community college which will raise my GPA up a little but not near the GPA's I have been seeing on this board. I feel like my B+ average at TCNJ is much more impressive than the A's I have gotten at community college.

Well, one optometry school that I'm applying to suggested that I take upper level bio classes this semester at a 4 year school to be a more competitve candidate. I would imagine pharmacy would be the same way.
