Transferring to Ross from Xavier?

I applied to Xavier school of medicine in Aruba, when I was a junior at Ohio State in Dec 2012. I was accepted for January 2013 MD semester. I did not have any premed courses done when I applied. I had only hospital gastroenterology research, ER volunteering, and ER shadowing experience and MCAT 30 score. I feel like Xavier does not have good learning facilities. I feel like I can't go back to OSU and finish my Biology degree. Because I'm class of 2014 at OSU. Should I switch to Xavier 1 year premed program that has all the premed courses. Then after I complete the courses I can transfer to Ross? I have that heard that I'm going to have hard time getting residency from Xavier medical school. Is there anything I can do? I'm stuck in the middle. I contacted Ross admissions office. They're going to let me know if Xavier premed courses qualify for admission?

I am completely scratching my head as to how you got on this trajectory, especially with a 30 on the MCAT... and all I can say is that I wish you the best of luck.

I would stop in my tracks get into a US undergrad college, get all my science classes done before my MCAT expires. Then reapply to a good DO School.

30 MCAT can land you a an MD/DO program if you have a decent GPA.

Why are you taking a much harder route. Go back to your undergraduate and take those pre-reqs.
