How bad is it going to look if I send in 4 transcripts from 4 different schools? (one where I got my B.S., two CC's, and a university where I took one class)

I have four transcripts too and it's no big deal. I wonder why do you think it will not look good from admission point of view??? You should worry about other big things.😴 😎
 
It shouldn't matter how many transcripts you send in. As long as you have all the necessary courses to matriculate, then all is good. It will definitely be a hassle to get all the transcripts but in the end it doesn't matter by the admissions office. Just make sure you get all your transcripts in in a timely manner.

When I was getting started in premed, I had heard rumors that it looked bad if you transferred and had credit from different schools. From everything I have seen since, that is apparently all they are... rumors. It may be perpetuated by university admissions people who will say anything to keep us from going the smart way and getting our lower level stuff out of the way at a junior level college.
