Does transferring universities look bad to medical school admissions committees?

February 2, 2009 by Don Osborne 1 Comment

My question is pretty self-explanatory. I am a junior and I already transferred once and I want to transfer from this big university I currently attend to a smaller one to play a sport. Will this impact my medical school admissions negatively? Thank in advance for the opinions/advice.

    Your grades tell more about your laziness. If you transfer because the university you are at is too hard, then you will be in trouble. To play a sport is probably a good thing. Grades and the MCAT score will get your application through the first round, but admission committees will then be looking for something that sets you apart from the other 100s of applicants. What they don’t want to see, is someone who is wishy-washy and makes the easy decisions. Keep your grades up, do well on the MCAT, play sports and other hobbies, volunteer, and pick up some research this summer. Good luck!
