I’m in an 8 year BS/DMD program right now at a decent university. I was pretty stoked at first, and it’ll sound dumb, but I’ve been living in this city my whole life and am honestly tired of it. Have been dealing with some grief recently as well, and being here has a lot of memories. Is it a bad idea to apply elsewhere and let myself get rescinded at my current university? I just finished my first year with a 3.85 GPA (only dropped from 4.0 after the whole grief thing) and still have other requirements in this program like research/volunteering/shadowing/LORs to complete anyways, so I would still have all the components of an application. I know it’s risky, so I guess I need advice on whether it is worth the risk.
