Should I apply as a spring transfer?

@DadTwoGirls For your first question(s), I have been on campus since school started- most of my classes are online. For your second group of questions, I think my last response should answer them. I originally transferred because a T3 LAC would provide a much better education than I was getting at my previous school. Also, this has a huge advantage when it comes to grad school/med school prospects. I don’t mean to be too vague, but take my word for it.

All your advice is very valid, thanks for that. I think the point about small class sizes/ close interactions with my professors would benefit me more if the breadth of the neuroscience department was much greater than what it is right now. Courses and research in neuroscience are very minimal, so unless there are some fundamental changes to the department, it probably won’t be much different five semesters down the line, let alone one semester. But as you said, I have only been here for a month, so I have yet to actually experience much of what the school has to offer. This perspective has formed purely on what I have witnessed so far and what I have gleaned from other neuroscience majors. The reason I posted originally was because I was wondering if it was worthwhile to jump ship early rather than later, from an admissions perspective.
