So I'm transferring to SUNY Stony Brook from a CUNY school due to financial reasons and other personal reasons as well. I'm considering the effect it will have on my application in the future. I've taken the general chem, bio, calc-physics sequence at my current school and I'm left with Orgo and Biochem. I plan on taking an additional 4 courses: genetics, mammalian physiology, microbiology, and others as well. I've look at some FAQ sites for medical school and it states that most courses should be taken at the school you're receiving your degree from. What will be the effect on my chances when I apply to medical school due to my transfer? My gpa currently is not stellar (3.5 for both cGPA and sGPA, but this is due to personal issues that I plan on addressing in my application. I plan on eating, sleeping, and breathing pre-med at Stony so hopefully A's all around. Maybe I'm putting the cart before the horse but any advice?
