Is it looked down upon by admissions officers of graduate schools or medical schools to see that you transferred to one school and then transferred to another one a year later? Does it look bad to have 3 schools on your transcript. I get the feeling I may be in this predicament.
Thank you to anyone who responds. Any opinion is welcome.

It's really not a big deal to them as long as your grades stayed consistant. Where you got your education doesn't matter as long as you got it.

It would bring into questions your motives. Why did/are you transferring schools so much? And it would make getting credit and completing college longer and and cost more money.

Graduate schools would not give a rip about your "motives." Admissions committees don't care why you transferred anywhere. They care about your academic ability and your research interests.

I attended three schools - Contra Costa College, University of Alaska Fairbanks and the University of Idaho - and was accepted at seven of the eight graduate schools I applied to.
