[El Curandero]

Is transferring from PCOM-GA to PCOM-PA possible? I can't find any relevant information on this.

there is a section for transfer student towards the end.

Usually for a transfer to be successful you have to first of all be an outstanding student, and secondly you must have a very valid reason other than you just like the school better. Many people transfer schools due to hardships of being far away from home, financial issues, domestic abuse in relationships, other extremes, etc. I doubt they would let you transfer just for the heck of it, but my opinion has very little backbone to it other than what I have read throughout my years of research into medical school. (I looked it up quite a while back because I was thinking if I could just get in, then I could transfer to my preferred university, lol.)

Don't get your hopes up. Every med school has instructions for transfer, but look at the data e.g. AAMC:

"During the 2013-2014 school year, 98 students transferred, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges." http://bit.ly/1KpRHVm
"The number of medical students enrolled in their first year exceeded 20,000 for the first time (20,055)." http://bit.ly/1OMshQU

I would just focus on doing well at Ga-PCOM. At the end of the day ALL MEDICAL SCHOOLS are learning the same thing!
