How hard is med school?

I just completed my PY1 of a 4 year PharmD at a very highly ranked (top 3) US COP. After 1 year, I have a 3.94 (1 B out of 14 classes). I am taking the MCAT in August and hope to get accepted to the COM in the same overall state health college’s program (on other side of the university hospital). I made a 91% on the PCAT 3 years ago and will be studying for the MCAT this summer. I would transfer out of the COP before my 3rd year.

I guess I’m asking what you all may think the COM will think when they see the application. Am I a quitter? Undecided? stupid? I just feel that pharmacy school is kind of easy and I want more of a challenge and a direct role in the treatment of patients, rather than facilitating by handing them a bottle the doctor ordered…among other things.
