Hello, I am a Biology major at Drexel University. I hope to go into med school and become a doctor of some sort. I have been struggling though and I feel like transferring may be helpful to me and a good move. I am joining the Marine Corps and therefore I am dropping the co-op I originally signed up for. The co-op is a big draw to go to Drexel but it will interfere with training and I don’t see the point in trying to do it along with the Marines. I want to stay in PA and I am looking at Pitt and Penn state as possible options. I started out in the wrong mindset and Drexel’s term schedule is just very fast. I feel like I’m having exams every week then suddenly its already time to pick new classes for the next term. It just all goes by so fast. I feel like transferring can help me start over a bit, save my gpa (which is not where it needs to be), and just give me a change of pace. So given all that, what are some suggestions as to where I should transfer? Or any advice as to my decisions? What schools would you say might best help me get into med school?
