So I currently go to a really good school but I’m thinking about transferring somewhere else. I want to eventually go to medical school but the social and academic environments at my current school have made it hard to keep a positive attitude on just about everything. Honestly my school isn’t even that bad but I’m completely miserable here. The city is the exact opposite of what I grew up in ( I’m from a large city in the northeast) and the social scene is kind of bad if you aren’t an upper middle to upper class white American. My school has great professors, connections and is giving me a huge financial aid package. It also happens to be prestigious which I’m hoping will help my career in the future. My dilemma is should I unhappy for the next 3 years and try to do well on my prereqs so I can hopefully get into med school or transfer to another school where I might be happy but won’t have as many opportunities and connections and may have to pay a little more. I should also mention that I have already done really bad on one of my prereqs because I was so unhappy.

This is really a very personal decision. Since it is already well into the summer, you are likely to be staying where you are for at least one more semester. You might want to see a counselor when you go back to college to help you figure out if you can make it through the next 3 years and get the grades you need to successfully apply to medical schools.
