My brother started off at community college went there for two years. Then he transferred to another school and then transferred again. He also took a couple summer classes from another university while he was at his current school. So that is four schools in total. How does that look to a med school? He did very well in all his classes.

So long as all transcripts are submitted at the time of application, he'll be fine. I recall a poll thread long ago in NonTrad Forum where one poster claimed to have attended and submitted transcripts from 17 institutions. I think the next runner-up had only 9-10.

It's unusual and will certainly warrant a question or two during the interview. As long as he had a good reason to transfer and wasn't running from any sort of academic misconduct or gross failures, he shouldn't have a problem.
