I don’t have their stats…but my transfer friends from the class of 2007 and 2008 are (or will be) enrolled at the following medical schools:

University of Rochester, Drexel, New York University (2 went here) and SUNY Upstate.

Transfers are not at a disadvantage for medical school admissions. I was concerned about a significant drop in my GPA during my 1st semester at Cornell. I spoke with a medical school admissions rep and she said they would not look badly on that drop because I was on a significant upward trend for the rest of my time there.

MD/PhD programs are a complete crapshoot…even top-notch students are rejected.
