I am currently a freshman at johns hopkins university and my grades are horrible. i am thinking of transferring to occidental college but i am wondering how would that look on my applications when i apply to dental schools? and should i just struggle and have a low gpa but come from a good school or should i transfer to a "lower" school and get a much better gpa?
thanks in advance

how do you know you will get a higher gpa at a "lower" school?

i thought about this too.........can someone say which university is actually "easier?" did someone take the exact same classes at 2 different universities?

i say you should stay at johns hopkins. i mean you did get accepted, therefore you must be pretty smart.

If you truly have 'horrible' grades at Hopkins, then I don't think you will magically start landing A's and A-'s at a different school. Work hard, and stay where you are.

Even if you do, chances are adcomms will see that right through you.
