I have really been reading your post and value your opinion. I am a current Nurse Practitioner and am pursuing med school. I just finished Bio 1 and chem 1 at a local cc with an A in both classes. I will be taking Bio 2 and Chem 2 in couple weeks.
My question is...I had planned on taking orgo and physics next fall at a local reputable university, but it is very expensive. So now I am debating taking them at my local cc. I hate that cc are looked at poorly. I can say I took bio 1 and Chem 1 13 years ago at a university and the cc was much harder and graded much stricter.
Do you think taking my classes at a local cc will be okay?
My first three years of college were rough 13 years ago before nursing school so my cumulative GPA is just over 3.0 with a strong upward trend in nursing school and a graduate GPA of 3.9.
It seems hard to pay 4000 for two classes that I can take at cc for 900 and learn just as much.
I do live close to a DO and MD school and will be applying for both. I know normally I wouldn't have a chance for MD but hoping since my work is affiliated with the med school it may help.
Sorry this was so long. All advice is welcome. I do know I would need to do well on the MCAT. I will also be taking biochemistry at the university because it is not offered at cc.
