Hi there! I've recently acquired an AS degree from my state CC, and my school has a transfer partnership with my state university so that all credits can be transferred. I did a little research into the pre med major that the uni offers and compared the courses with ones offered at my CC. There are a fair number that I could take at CC such as 1 year of bio/chem/physics. For example, BIO 105 at CC transfers as BIO 101 to uni. Ochem and biochem would have to be completed at university, but CC is half the cost for the other courses.
My question is, just because I can take these courses at CC, save myself a lot of money, and transfer them to uni to fulfill some premed requirements, should I? I don't want to put the time into science courses at CC if adcoms are going to say they aren't rigorous enough.
I've only found a couple of threads of students that mention that they took their chem or bio at a CC and transferred it. I just don't want to shoot myself in the foot and have my application passed over. Should I get in touch with the pre professional advisor at the university, perhaps? Thanks for your help, friends!
