Will transferring from a JC to a UC hurt chances of Med School acceptance?

deliriusilustratr asked:


Do medical school care if a student goes straight to a UC out of highschool or go to a JC and then transfer to a UC?

Like lets say,

Person A goes to UC straight out of highschool and earns a 3.5 gpa at graduation, while Person B goes to a JC then transfers to a UC, earning a 4.0 gpa at graduation.

Will medical schools take Person A over Person B?

To me, JC seems so shady because you don’t really have to be a genius to go there, so will coming from a JC hurt your image in a Med School’s eyes?

    GPA and where you graduated from(the second place UC) will be just fine don’t worry, but get that 4.0 GPA!
