Is transferring the summer before my junior year feasible?

Right now I'm looking at transferring next year just before my junior year and getting some classes done in the summer at gatech relevant to my major. I want to transfer as a biomedical engineering major but no major specific courses are available where I'm at now so I'm worried I'll be behind if I do eventually transfer. I'm supposed to graduate in 2028 for reference.

Before I transfer I'll have a lot of core classes done like up to Calc 3, csc 1301, and linear algebra and ofc calc based physics.

Is expecting to graduate on time naive or is it possible? If anyone has experienced this same situation I'd really appreciate hearing what you have to say

Depends on your courseload. But “graduating on time” is overrated imo. Lots of people here graduate more than 4 years due to co-ops, spring internships, research, etc. Exception is probably financial

Other than that, plan out what transfers and what courses you still need to graduate your bme degree with desired concentration (if applicable)
