I know, I know... another one of these XYZ vs ABC University.
I am so lucky to have gotten into these schools, and I can't really decide where to go. I want to do pre-med, and I know that I could get a great education at either one. I just don't know which to choose- any input from current students/parents would be great!
emory's premed is good, but brown does a really good job of preparing and sending students to top med schools. that's just my thought, and i got rejected from emory, but i got into brown =)
in my opinion, brown is the higher quality school. on the flip side, brown is a new england ivy. if you're from the south and have a regional preference for being in atlanta, it's a different story
Well, Brown's location doesn't really bother me, but it still is a 4 hour plane ride from where I live. I'm just so surpirsed that I got in and worry that I'll be the "dumb" kid. I mean I haven't done research since I was ten or been published in 20 articles like some of the other admitted students. I don't know... I guess I'm just doubting myself. Any more thoughts?
don't worry about being the dumb kid. Brown had plenty of people to choose from, if they chose you they know that you're going to be very successful at Brown. And it's not like most admitted students have done research since they were ten.
I'd go to Brown (but that's just personal preference)
Don't let those little doubts be the thing that stops you from doing what you want to do or going where you want to go. We all have moments when we are not sure about ourselves, but later on in life you don't want to look back with regret because you talked yourself out of something that you were in fact quite able to do.
