<p>Thanks to all for your input, especially bernie12! She is probably going the biology route. While maintaining gpa is important for pre-meds, she is looking for challenge and rigor and was concerned that it may not be challenging enough. She isn’t afraid of hard work and enjoys thinking about things. She didn’t make finalist for the Scholars program, although the letter said she could apply again once she was a student there. Three other schools have flown her in so she has a good feel for most of her favorites. Hopefully we will be able to get her to Emory so she can get a feel for the students and overall environment. After reading that other major Emory thread it is a little off-putting to see so much negativity. I understand many are positive also, and there are pluses and minuses everywhere, but not all schools have that kind of discussion going on. If we can’t get her to Emory she has other great options to choose from once we see the FA packages.</p>
