So I've seen a couple of threads about getting Med School pre-reqs at Community Colleges, but those have been about people switching to a 4-year after 2 years of CC.

In my case, I've recently graduated from a 4-yr University with a degree in Finance, and am already working. However, I'm thinking about going back to school and eventually going to Medical School. There's a Gen Chem I class at a CC close by that I can take, but I'm afraid that it won't be accepted once I start applying for Med School. I would also most likely take a couple more pre-reqs at this particular CC to decide whether or not I really want to change my career. If I do, then I would quit my job and take the remaining reqs full time at a 4-yr college.

So taking that all into consideration, would most Med Schools take those initial reqs from the CC?

Medical schools differ in terms of their acceptance of CC pre-reqs. I think it really depends on the med school.

Have you thought about doing a post-bacc program?

Here is some good information about them: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=114425

You sound like a perfect candidate for a "basic sciences" post bacc
