It is possible to get all your pre-reqs at a community college. They will be easier (usually) than prereqs taken at a University because community colleges ususally graduate physical therapists and associate degrees in nursing. You will be hard pressed to find many community colleges that boast medical school admissions directly following completion of their program.
For example, in my Organic Chem class at WCU, there were several students who failed out even though they had taken Organic Chemistry at SCC (the local community college) & made A's.
Saying you are capable of getting good grades and actually getting them are two different things. You should make sure you are disciplined enough to handle the medical course load before going thousands of dollars into debt.
Of course, if you come from a very wealthy family that does not mind funding your education, you can fail out and have no loans to repay.
