pa school prereqs at cc or university?

Hi!

I am currently a senior, Allied Health major in university about to graduate in the fall. I am trying to get an idea of where I am going to take my final prereq classes before I apply to pa school in a few years. I took A&P I and II, Stats, Psychology, Sociology, and English at community college before I transferred after 2 years to university. I took Gen Bio I and II, Gen Chem I, Microbio, Developmental and Abnormal Psych, and Med Term at my university. I have also taken other upper division science courses at my university as well, they just aren't required prereqs.

After I graduate, I was planning on enrolling to a state school as a non-degree seeking student, or utilizing the state schools' open university program, but it is a lot of money out of pocket with no eligibility of aid. I would love any advice on whether I should apply to another 4 year to take Gen Chem 2, Ochem or Biochem, and Genetics or if I should take it at a community college. I was told by advisors at my school that programs will be less likely to look at my application because I took other classes at community college before I transferred to university. For reference my GPA in community college was 3.9 and my cGPA in university is a 3.7 (science GPA is higher), and I have one more semester left. I am planning to take about a year to a year and a half gap before starting my first cycle of applications.

I am very stuck right now and want to plan ahead lol. Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated!!
