The problem with your post is that you are applying the advice from the faculty of a handful of schools to all schools. I've been told straight up by the one school that I've asked that they don't accept pre-req's from community colleges. That school was UNC. That was two years ago, so things might have changed, but that's a definite no straight from the horses mouth, which is why I told the OP that he should call all of the schools that he's interested in and ask them directly instead of taking the word of strangers on the internet.
I just got clarification on that from their admission office, because that is not something which is stated under their admission information pages. I apologize if the clarification is almost more confusing.
The FIRST answer was that they do not accept CC credits for pre-reqs, but that was followed by the statement that if those credits have been transferred for credit to a university, they are likely to be okay. Also, he said that they specifically do not accept biochem, genetics, or cell and molec taken at a CC as meeting their pre-reqs. (The cell and molec and genetics are "strongly recommended" courses there.) That makes sense, since those are upper level courses, and those courses at the CC campuses are not meant for science majors.
English taken prior to transfer would be okay. Taking it at the CC while or after enrolled in the four year would not be advisable.
They prefer that students who have questions about whether a specific course is acceptable under specific circumstances speak to them directly.
I've found that is the general attitude for most places that have a bias - that the final determination depends not just on whether an institution was a two or four year one, but strongly on the circumstances under which they were taken, during which part of the educational process they were taken, AND whether the student continued to take upper level courses at a four year and both do well in them and do well on the MCAT.
It makes sense that if you are a science major and take upper level classes at the university, those CC prereqs are likely to be viewed differently than if you are a humanities major and take all of the BCMP courses at a community college.
It may be that UNC is one of the more reluctant institutions to accept them. I know that they hold a rather strong stance about considering those who complete college in fewer than four years.
