ok. I took all of myprereqs at CC and got a 4.0. I just finished my 2nd semester at a decent university (ranked 60ish nationally) and still got 4.0 with a few upper level science classes. My DAT kind of sucked but I still got a 19aa/ts with bio, chem, and ochem being 18,20, and 21 respectively.

Will I be ok assuming I don't apply to schools that don't accept CC credits?
 
Your DAT is good. Your GPA is great. No one will doubt you, unless you go to a university and get a significantly lower GPA.

People understand CC's are easier. So if you go from a 4.0 at your CC then get roughly a 3.5 at the remainder of your time at your university, they will understand and won't "penalize" you for having a gpa that has decreased. Also 19 aa/ts is good.
