I am a fourth year at my university and I am planning on taking a 5th year. I will graduate in 2020. My major is psychology and I have not taken any of the prerequisites for medical school. I know I won't be able to finish all the courses before I graduate next year. So, I was wondering if it would be okay to take some of the prerequisites at my university and some at my community college? Would I still be considered for Medical school? If so do you know of any medical schools that are okay with community college prereqs?

Most med schools are OK with CC prerequisites. The concern is that community college coursework won't have the same rigor and thus won't prepare you as well for the MCAT. This isn't universally true of every junior college, but is a good warning to take into consideration. Your plan of taking a mix of CC and 4-year classes for the prerequisites will probably work out fine.
