Physics A Pre-Req at Community College?

Hey guys,

I accidentally took Physics A at a community college Sophomore-Junior summer. Accidentally because my course advisor said it was fine for me to take one class at a CC to save some money for medical school. However, I've been digging deeper recently and most people and schools have warnings against pre-reqs at CC's. It was clearly my fault for not researching as much as I should, but I am wondering how that would affect my chances?

My GPA is 3.76, sGPA probably 3.68, and I got an A in the CC Physics A. I'm currently a senior and will be graduating a semester early. I will be taking Physics B next (last) semester at my university. Should I retake the Physics A? I'm pretty confident I would get an A at my uni as well. Unfortunately, I was a naive underclassman at the time.

No, definitely no need to retake an A. It's really not a big deal. 🙂 You have a high GPA and it sounds like you'll be able to demonstrate to adcoms that you can do well in CC and university courses.

Oh okay, sounds good. I got intimidated after looking into a few forums on SDN that paint CC pre-req as automatic rejection apps, but it helps to get a different perspective!

yeah that freaked me out too, it's a little bit overblown on this board although it's true you need to pay attention to the balance and distribution of uni vs CC classes
