Going back to CC

My major is biochemistry and I've yet to finish any science courses. I'm considering going back to my local CC for a year so I can transfer to a better university (current university has some deep administrative issues and I'd rather attend my other local university but I cannot get in at present). The courses I would be taking at the CC are mostly prereqs but my major would require me to take some upper level science courses. If I went back to my CC, aced my science prereqs, and transferred to my other local university and continued to excel, would I be looked down upon? At my current university, I withdrew 2 semesters in a row because of personal issues but I don't want to appear as if I'm going back to CC as "an easy way out".

Another reason I want to do this is that the other university has far more opportunities for premedical students. What should I do?😕

If you'd feel more comfortable at another school, then go do this. As long as you do well in all your classes, have other science classes done at your University, do well on the MCAT, you'll be fine.

I don't think people will look at it as you going to CC as "an easy way out." There is no easy way out. You can take science classes at CC as long as they are not the specific science classes for core pre-requisites for medical school.

I think you'll be just fine. Keep the CC courses to lower level ones though. There are many people who do similar things. Doing what you think is best for your education is most important.
