I'm kind of a community college evangelist. I've taken classes at a lot of schools - some prestigious and expensive, some cheap and open to everyone. My community college courses have been, on average, of higher quality than those at respected four-year schools. As a working EMT, I cannot fit the lecture + problem "workshop" + lab + lab prep lecture into my schedule, whereas at a CC it's generally a lab+lecture for four hours, two nights a week for the same credit hours and material. For an English 101 course, sure a CC course is going to have a lot of screw ups. But for a science major course, I've got working nurses and respiratory therapists combined mainly with the smart, hard-working children of first-generation immigrants (for whom CC is a financial decision) as my peers.

I do think it's fair that SABA requires an MCAT score for those who take pre-reqs at CCs, as there are schools out there that are probably too easy to reflect one's ability to handle medical school. There are surely four-year schools as well that grant easy As, but they're fewer. A good number of my classmates in CC pre-reqs have been PAs and physical therapists who were directed to the CC from a certain top 25 med school who knew of the quality and rigor of the CC's courses.
