Should I transfer from UNC Chapel Hill to a top 5 premed school?
Hi, I'm an incoming student at UNC Chapel Hill for premed. Although I know UNC is a great school, I applied to a couple top schools (like some Ivys) and was waitlisted and rejected. So right now, I'm pretty disappointed with my college outcomes and was wondering if it's worth it to apply as a transfer to Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, and JHU. I know WashU accepts Spring transfers; would that be worth applying to? Don't get me wrong, I know that UNC is a great school, but for some reason I'm just not happy. I have a lab position locked in right now at UNC that I've been working in for the past 1.5 years but really want to go to a top recognized school. I'm just not sure if its worth it since I'm premed and know that long-lasting research positions and grades matter a lot.
