I made the horrible mistake of doing a bs/md program on the east coast (it was my parents' decision). the mcat was optional and i did not give it because i was extremely unhappy all throughout undergrad and was not motivated. i did very well in undergrad, had research, had volunteering experience, but just couldnt get myself to do the mcat to apply out. im at the medical school now and im not even doing that great (about average) because not a day goes by that i feel upset at where i am. whenever i go back home to the west, i feel crappy that im not at my home institution (which is a very good school and is not hard to get into as an in-state resident). im doing research at my home institution with some mds, and it pains me to see the local med students because i could have potentially been one of them.
is there any way i could transfer to my home institution? i have lived here all my life and im willing to pay the out of state tuition even though im a resident. could i maybe talk to the researchers im working with to get some leverage? sometimes i feel like just dropping out of the med school i am because i hate being there so much.
