Desperately want to transfer out of Williams College, do I have a chance? :(

We are not being negative…you are. You also insulted a bunch of people.

My D graduated first in her HS class with much higher stats than yours, and she attended a state school. I can assure you that her school was not “less demanding.” I saw how hard she worked to maintain her high gpa.

Cornell is also in the middle of nowhere, although the town is within walking distance. All of the schools that you wish to transfer to are reaches. If you want to transfer just make sure you add some other schools…a few that are less reachy.

You need to work on your gpa if you want a chance at med school. The fact that you are at Williams doesn’t matter…lots of students at similar schools manage to achieve a high gpa. Medical schools don’t say…well he graduated from Williams so we will accept a 3.4, and she graduated from UConn so she needs a 3.9. Doesn’t work that way.

You asked for advice…I would add schools that are more likely. Pitt is great, but won’t be a walk in the park. You will be surrounded by very smart kids and will have to work hard on your gpa.
