I am currently entering my second semester of my sophomore year at the University of New Mexico. I am double majoring in biochem. and psychology. Due to my academic performance in high school, my university is actually paying me a sum every semester to attend due to scholarships.
I have plans of attending med. school, where is undecided, although I have a few in mind (U of Washington, U of New Mexico, U of Minneapolis, UC Davis or San Diego, Baylor U). I have heard multiple times where you get your undergrad often does not matter a whole lot when applying to grad. Is this true? If it is does obtaining an undergrad from a specific school boost the chances of being accepted to that specific med. school?
If it is, is it worth leaving my scholarship and financial comfort for a new school (where I would likely have to pay much more)? There is also the personal aspect of this decision, I would like to move out of NM; however, I have a little more than 2 years left of school. Is it smart to transfer as a junior? sophomore?
