You won't be able to apply to medical school until you've take the pre-med level science classes. Community colleges do not offer the proper level of biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics needed for medical school. You'll need to retake the courses at the proper level at a four year college.

You can take the MCAT whenever you'd like, but you'd do better after taking the proper level science coursework.
