You seem like you have some issues you should seek help for. There’s no shame in this. Not sure if transferring schools will make a difference.
@WildestDream like what issues
Catholic universities are typically financially sponsored by their churches but they accept all faiths. They typically are smaller and more personalized.
(Don’t know why that is a laughing matter.)
SCU is very well known in the Silicon Valley but it’s also a well-respected university and probably has transfer funding because it is a privately-funded school. It is expensive and it is definitely not for profit.
They prepare their students well.
I know of several students accepted from SCU to UCSD med school.
First, you need to clear your head and talk to some counselors if you attempt to transfer.
Why?
Not trying to push your buttons, but many of your responses to posters here sound defensive and arrogant. People here are trying to help, but you’re not being very open to suggestions and appear to doubt and question the posters’ responses.
The UC’s will be very competitive for students who hope to be physicians. Remember that each UC has a huge amount of students who attempt to be “premed”. At Davis, my daughter’s class had 1000 grads-all premed. That was one semester at one UC. Her friends who eventually got into their med schools throughout the country, had to mentally prepare themselves for not getting in anywhere. Their MCATs, grades, and EC’s needed to be perfect. Not an easy thing to to if you are not mentally strong.
(Your previous post, a year ago, indicated that you already were negatively concerned about Cal. Self-fulfilling prophecy about not being happy at Cal. Going in with that attitude doomed you from the start. Maybe that’s where the maturity need was noticed?)
@“aunt bea”
I don’t think transferring to SCU is in the cards; if I were to transfer it’d have to be in SoCal and cheaper than Berkeley.
That’s really great that they were able to get into UCSD medical school. That’s a dream for me lmao, especially after that B- in organic chemistry (worst grade ever earned in my life).
I will see a counselor soon but I think the more likely outcome is withdrawing for a semester or just sucking it up and going back to Berkeley.
@“aunt bea” I don’t consider myself an arrogant/defensive person but I guess you’re right.
Sorry–I’ve just hesitated all this time to seek help because I know that feelings eventually dissipate and I’ve never paid much attention to my mental health because it’s never affected my extensively. That’s why I question and doubt people.
Sigh, I don’t know whether I can make it through all the competition at Cal to become a doctor 
I was concerned about Berkeley but many incoming freshmen were/are concerned about their freshman year of college
The issue is that you mentioned that you are a pre-med, which means that you will be in a highly competitive and stressful environment anywhere, due to the need to earn A grades in almost everything to even gave a chance to get into medical school. And you also mentioned how much parental pressure you have over grades.
California is also more competitive for pre-meds because of the low number of in state public medical school spots relative to the population.
So transferring to another school may not change your situation in these respects much, even if the other school has slightly less intense competition or grading.
I don’t think the school, whatever it is, is the source of the problem - well, maybe 10% of it.
In particular, I think Santa Clara is an excellent school (if my D had not been admitted to UCB EECS, she would have matriculated at SCU). But with the attitude of the OP towards it, I don’t think it can be a solution.
