Question
Hello, my name is Joaquinn and I plan to become an anesthesiologist.  I decided to enroll in a community college befor enrolling a 4-year university.  I'm currently attending Lone Star-Cy Fair.  I don't know which university would be better for what I'm looking for. But I want to stay in the state of Texas.
Also, if instead of doing my 2 years of community college, can I only do 1 and transfer to a 4-year university without strong consequences or conflicts?
Thank you.


Answer
I am not sure about the requirements for transfer or how many credits they will accept but since you need a 4yr degree to get into medical school, the sooner you get into a 4yr program, the better.
