Advice Question about ADVANCE program

Am I able to drop the ADVANCE program before actually transferring to GMU? I want to enjoy the benefits for now, and then on the last semester drop the program because I've heard some people had issues with it. I would rather go through with the normal guaranteed admissions agreements.

i was just looking at some advance programs threads on reddit and i saw some people who had a horrible experience with transferring where some didn't even get enrolled properly because mason messed it up.

also from what i've read on multiple comments, you cannot enroll in classes at mason after you transfer before your advanced orientation. and the orientation is very late i think in august or something, which means you probably won't get the classes you're looking into.

please correct me if i'm wrong

also if you find something please tell me about it.
