<p>dude seriously if ur already in a a bs/md program don't apply out ur life will he hell doing pre-med ur guaranteed a spot in med school you don't want to give that up plus ur gpa doesn't seem that great. I don't understand that you say that your starting as a freshmen and your gpa is a 3.5 how is that possible you didn't even start yet. By the way what bs/md program are you in???</p>
<p>How is your GPA 3.5?</p>
<p>And what are you worried about? Study hard, get good grades, and it'll go in your favor. Try to get a job in the field you want. Part time of course. And build off of it.</p>
<p>If you really want to transfer out of that program, do it. You seem to be fully capable of doing so with your stats. Be sure to explain your illness and grades in your transfer application. i have no idea what your chances are at the aforementioned schools, but good luck!</p>
<p>sorry, i guess i wasnt clear about the college gpa. since it was an accelerated program, i already did one summer semester of college classes. and i have a college gpa of 3.5 because of that.
thanks!</p>
