chances of switching programs
hi, im in my second year of life sciences and i didnt do as well as i hoped first year. my CA came out to be a 7.4, so i wasnt accepted into any of the programs i applied for. im hoping to be able to switch into med rad after this year, and if not then biology. can anyone give me an idea of how likely it is that i'll be able to switch with my CA being quite low from first year? i know i will have to work very hard to bring it up, but do i have a chance? i know med rad is hard to switch into, ive heard they only accept 10-15 transfers into the program.

thanks!

You should talk to an academic advisor.

Also keep in mind that for med rad, you will have to start in year 1 and complete four years from whenever you start the program.
