Hello,
I beg your advice,
I was just wondering if anyone had any opinions on how bad transferring schools looks to Adcoms.
I have considered transferring to my local CSU from UC Irvine [my current school] at the end of this academic year. [I'm a third year with sophomorish standing because I did highschool in two years and had to make up some prereq's] I've done fairly well here and have earned mostly A's in everything. Depending on this quarter i'll probably have a cumulative Science GPA between 3.9 - 4.0. Also, even though I am currently finishing my Physics series, I took the MCAT earlier this year and received a 37S, I plan on retaking this fall.
If I live at home, I won't have to work and I'll be able to focus all my energy on extracurricular activities, many of which I've participated in since before highschool. Also, I'll save about $36,000. I'll have my friends and family, and will probably be happier back home.
So, Will transferring affect my chances of getting to medical school? Should I just stick it out here?
Thanks for your help
