I'm at a t25 undergrad right now, out of state. Reason I came was for a t5 undergrad business program I got into. However, the out of state tuition is extremely expensive for my parents, of which they are paying all. Since I was thinking business, the investment seemed to be worth it. However, this first semester, I am strongly disliking the idea of me pursuing business here and am interested in doing a pre-med track as I originally thought a while back.
I could stay at the school I am now, but I don't feel like the difficulty of doing well in pre-med here along with the expensive tuition is worth it for undergrad.
My in-state public school, if I attend, is very cheap, respected, and getting a strong GPA would not be as difficult as where I am now. I currently have a strong GPA and many AP credits from high school. If I transferred in next semester, I feel like I could do better there where everything is more manageable. I'm not too worried about the social life as I have friends going to the in-state school and I'm planning on joining some organizations already. For me, the only concern would be that I don't do as well as expected in pre-med, and the transfer ends up being the wrong choice; also, I'd be somewhat limited to sticking with pre-med for sure.
Thoughts?
