What’s your financial situation? NYU is super-expensive and notoriously stingy with need-based aid. It’s hard to know what schools to suggest without knowing whether you are a) not price-sensitive at all or b) looking for generous need-based aid or c) looking for an affordable “sticker price” or d) looking for merit money, which is rare for transfer students.
Are you thinking about other paths in the medical field, besides an MD? I think that if I were in your situation, I might be particularly interested in transfer schools that have PA programs and give priority admission to their own undergrads. Chapman would be an example in California. (see info under “CU B.S. Bridge” here https://www.chapman.edu/crean/academic-programs/graduate-programs/physician-assistant/admission.aspx ) This would open up the potential to put down roots and spend four years at the same school, and come out with a professional degree. The opportunities for PA’s are terrific these days - I have met a number of MD’s who have said that they’d go the PA route if they had it to do over again. So many PA jobs look like what MD jobs used to be, and MD’s wish they still were.
If you’re looking at NYU-level schools on the east coast, Northeastern has a high transfer acceptance rate and a fantastic PA program. Baylor, that you already mentioned, has one too. And many more: http://directory.paeaonline.org/
(And of course you can study English/literature as well; but it sounds like you definitely want to keep your medical-field options open.)
If you get onto a pre-PA track and then, in 2-3 years, find that you’ve done well enough GPA-wise and on the MCAT to apply to med schools, you certainly still can - I’m definitely not suggesting burning any bridges. (And as you can see in the Chapman info, you’ll need ~3.6 in the science prereqs even for PA school, so it’s not like that path is a walk in the park either.)
Just where my thoughts go, looking at your situation.
