Hi everyone! Thank you for all of the responses!
I’m really interested in RHC for multiple reasons. The first is the scholarship. The second is the smaller class sizes; I can bear huge colleges, but would I greatly prefer mid-small classes. The third is the freshman dorms and the priority dorms afterwards. It’s not a dealmaker, but it’s a nice touch. Finally, the fact that “honors” will be on my diploma. I’ve heard that it isn’t super useful, but if I’m applying to med school then everything counts.
I’ve also heard that the community is really nice and supportive.
If I get into Rutgers without the HC (maybe the honors programs instead), then it’ll be ok, though I’ll be a little disappointed. To be fair, it may be because my peers are striving for higher-ranked colleges. There’s nothing wrong with Rutgers.
