I am doing my first year at a community college before I transfer to a four-year college. Would medical schools look down on thos classes at community college?
My CC honors program has put people in places like Yale, Columbia, Cornell JHU nad all of those.
If I get in one of the aforementiooned schools, I guess I be OK, but If I dont would that hurt my chances?
Thank You.

Med schools know there are good reasons to take classes at community colleges. They are, of course, less expensive, but they also have smaller class sizes, so there is a good chance students will get more individualized attention. Students also use community colleges to complete the basics but do more focused work in their fields later at four-year schools.
We often get the message the community colleges are lesser colleges, but in fact, they're great for many reasons and a good stepping stone to fabulous four-year schools and beyond.

Jennifer explained things perfectly, being a community college student does not put you at a disadvantage at all. Community colleges are usually looked down upon by students who go to sub-par universities and want to look down upon someone. You can get a great education at a community college and many students from community colleges go on to go to top20 colleges and ivy league universities. Oh yeah many students in med school start out at community colleges for their first two years.
Absolutely if you are talking about a good medical school. Are there med schools, law schools and doctorate programs you can get into after having previously gone to a community college before earning your Bachelor's degree? Yes. Are they top or even mid-level programs? No. The exception being if you are a minority student or from a disadvantaged background, then they'll overlook the community college.
Some will, some won't
Absolutely not. My best friend attended community college her first two years of college. She is very talented and she is a science major. While she attended community college she applied for a M.E.S.A scholarship and her next two years at U.C. Berkeley were paid for in full. She is currently at the University of Pennsylvania in med school after earning her Bachelors in Toxicology at Berkeley. She has also done cancer research at numerous U.C's throughout California.
