For pre-med/biology, I would recommend transferring to Pitt if possible. It is much stronger all health sciences/bioresearch fields, except agriculture, than Penn State, and the hospitals/bioresearch facilities are right on campus to more easily facilitate getting volunteering/shadowing/research to plump up the application. PSU’s med facilities are two hours away from university park in Hershey.

Now that said, Pitt is urban like Drexel, so if the city environs is part of your problem in achieving the GPA you desire, consider the rural setting of Penn State.

The main thing is to go to a place you envision yourself being the most successful at.
