also, it won't improve your licensability one day. if you attended even one semester at a CA unapproved school, and then transfer to a big 3 school, you cannot get licensed in CA if those credits transferred over.
Very true, but as long as it does not hinder my licensability any more than it is already then I don't care. So far the consensus seems to be transfer up, not down, which is what I was planning on doing.

However, as you say, I can potentially lose credits.

SMU's match list isn't that bad, and if I really wanted to, I guess I can just continue and take my chances with clinicals here rather than potentially retaking Path II and a revision semester after passing Step 1.

It's times like these I wish I was a better student in undergrad.
