Hey All!
I'm currently at a top 20 public state school, with a pretty good track record of sending graduates to med school. I'm a Junior business major, using electives and summer to take med school requirements.
For various reasons in a different thread, mainly a full time internship I am thinking of transferring to Excelsior College, because I could take exams and be done in 1 more semester max... rather than 1.5 years in my current school. (A little behind)
-3.5~ Gpa in science
-3.6~ GPA in business (With hard courses, calc, lots of econ)
This is a bit different than normal because I'm not looking to take pre-reqs online... I was just going to take them at local schools, in person of course.
I have called several admissions offices and they are mostly split, some saying that is completely fine, others saying if your doing good finish out at the ranked school, we look at it more favorably..... but it wouldn't necessarily hurt you, and if your science GPA is high, it doesn't matter. So I'm kind of confused haha!
If I transferred to the online school, I would be able to 1. Finish early, save tons of money. 2. Focus entirely on 1-2 science courses per semester, extremely helpful considering I have orgo and physics coming up.
Do you think this would hurt me? Just wanted extra opinions... I think my science GPA would be a touch higher because I could focus in on it, and again, this is only to get my business degree online.... my pre reqs will all be done in person.
