Do grad schools really care

I got accepted into a Tier 1 Institution outside of my state and they gave me a graduate research assistantship as well (free tuition, health insurance and salary). They did not seem to care that I attended a CC for two years, but I did take all of the science and math classes that matter at a university.

Medical schools care. I can't speak for other types of graduate schools.

A girl I knew from HS got into dental school and had taken several CC classes in the past. It is still possible.

Oh, it certainly won't amount to automatic rejection, but it will certainly be a negative. However, if you had an otherwise strong record, it will probably be overlooked.

I guess it varies by state, but in Virginia we have lots of legislation and agreements that put community college courses on an even footing with university courses (a subset of the total offered, but a lot of the first advanced maths, finance, etc..)

For what it counts I major in electrical engineering and this will be the only course I take at CC. All of my gen ed credits are finished thanks to the many AP classes I took that I thought would do me nothing lol. I'm finishing the core courses (both physics, calc 3 and diff eq) at my university. There is some system in my state where you can get an AA at a CC then transfer to the universities.

And no med school for me, just regular old...engineering graduate programs?
