I would NOT advise to transer out of bs/md, nope, no way. You can apply out (but only if you can retain your spot in Med. School, which is very rare in bs/md programs). My D. was in bs/md, hers was not accelerated. She was accepted also to accelerated one, but wanted a normal college experience. Her bs/md was 4+4=8 and it allowed to apply out while retaining your spot at Med. School in the program. She was the only one who applied out, the others did not want to bother, they went to Med. School without any interview, no application fees, nothing. Many out there would be envious of this, believe me. Just read about application cycles in couple threads. You will not question your current situation after that…
I do not think that you will maintain the same “laid back atmosphere” later. I do not know how is taking about 21 credits (which is normal for accelerated program) is a laid back. Are you involved in EC’s, medical or others, are you working?
What you are saying is not normal for a pre-med at any UG and more so in accelerated bs/md program. We have talked to several students in accelerated bs/md when D. was interviewing there. No “laid back atmosphere”, they were trying to convince us that they are surviving…
