My question is should I transfer out of the med program and try to go to a more academic school next fall? Should I wait another year?

I believe if you are not enjoying the school and not feeling challenged, then yes you should transfer. However, if i were you i would apply as a junior transfer and see if you can handle o-chem before you decide to forego your guarantee. If it is totally unbearable, you might want to just transfer earlier. I think you should be able to handle premed coursework if you were able to get into a bs/md program.



Also, if I decide to apply to transfer, would I be able to without my program director knowing?

I highly doubt you can keep this a secret, but you shouldn’t be afraid to make your decision open despite what they might say.
