Sorry for such a late reply, school starting took me away from the college search for quite a while.
Though I hoped to get out of NYC for college, I am applying to Sophie Davis, though I still have a few questions about what the program is like. Perhaps you could clarify a little more about it.
How heavily does need factor into admission? - I don’t qualify for much financial aid at most schools, does this hurt my chances of getting into Sophie Davis? I know they look at background and income to some extent.
Is it really as difficult as I have heard? - Though I love to study and work hard, I don’t want schoolwork in college to dominate my whole life.
What if I change my mind about being a doctor? - Though I have a strong interest in biology and the medical field specifically, I’m not 100% sure that this is what I want to pursue. Does this mean Sophie Davis isn’t a good fit for me?
In general, is it really worth it? - One of my biggest priorities during my college search has been finding a large, (somewhat) academically diverse school, with a beautiful campus far from NYC if possible. Would/should Sophie Davis’ academic opportunities trump my dreams of a classic college experience?
