You were prepared to borrow and pay for medical school. I don’t see why you aren’t prepared to spend a lot less money on taking longer than 4 years to get your BS in ChemE if that is really what you want to do. You haven’t completely wasted your time.

You should transfer colleges to one with your major rather than beat around the bush, waste time and money getting your degree in something else, and then playing catchup in a graduate program that won’t offer any financial aid.

If you can afford it, one reasonable place to do this is Penn State. Penn State students take no ChemE courses until Sophomore Year. If you transfer now, you may not even be behind depending on what you’ve taken.

Can you cross register at RPI for relevant courses until your transfer is complete?

I’m just throwing out some reasonable possibilities.
