My best friend started off college at a four year college. She didn't do well her first year. She failed one of her pre-reqs and received a C in the other. She was also unhappy because she didn't know anyone at that college, so she transferred. However she transferred to a 2 year college. She says it's not a Community College, it's a "technology" college. Still when she graduates from there she'll graduate with an Associates in Biology. I told her that medical schools tend not to like a student taking all of their pre-reqs at 2 year schools. Yet she insists on not only taking all the pre-reqs there but also the majority of the classes that she would need for a biology major. Just to give insight on what she's planning to take there, she's taking her orgo, physics, microbiology, a&p and genetics at that institution. Granted she's doing better there but how will medical schools view this? Would it be a disadvantage since she not only completed her pre-reqs and upper div courses there but she also "transferred down"?
