i'm NOT endorsing my school by any means, i'm just saying if you are close to being forced into something you don't like, transfer. on the other hand, buckle down, break out the coffee, and study like hell.

Yeah, its a option that is avalible. but I gotta keep in mind how it might affect residency. They say if you had transfer and they see it that they begin to wounder what happend and why the person had transfer. In a way it doesnt make things look good. But its still a last resort.
I guess the reason why I had taken so long was because no one had taught me how to study. Just cramed like hell for each test and forgot the stuff the day after. Studying for the usmle is diffrent. I do wish my school had prepared us for it but I dont want to blame anyone but myself. It was my fault for not knowing how to study.
