to good to be true?

I have gone to community college in California for 3 years now. I finished all my work to transfer during my first year and a half. Originally I was majoring in law and economics but decided to change my major before transfering (which meant staying at the community college to complete prerequisites). I have a 4.0 science gpa and 4.0 cumulative gpa. Still have a year or so left of science prereqs but I plan to complete those with above a 3.7gpa and the rest of my undergrad with a 4.0. I am a licensed EMT and will be working as one soon. If all this goes according to plan and I have good MCAT scores, how competitive do you think I will be for admission?

What are "good MCAT scores"?

You are a ways from applying, it sounds like, but so far, so good.

CC are not competitive compared to universities so your gpa is a bit of an enigma (I know this as a guy had asked the head of my univ's med school adcom)

, IMO your mcat will be very important

I hear that community college won't affect your chances. But if it does, why is that?

It's because it's a lot easier to get A's in a community college than it is at a reputable university/college. However, as long as you transfer to a reputable university and continue to get A's, then it doesn't matter.

there's a reason why many students choose to take CC classes for physics...because its much easier. (although its not always the case)

although in my physics class 5-10% got A's, the kids at the CC told me at least 50% got A's.
