Decisions, Decisions...

<p>Please, for the love of all that is holy, don’t base your decision on which you think med schools will want more. </p>

<p>Your basic thought is that you can get a nearly identical gpa at each place…well, that’s probably highly unlikely. Go to the place where you are going to be the happiest, because that’s likely to be the place where you’re most successful - and not just academically, but also socially, physically, and emotionally. And then, even if you change your mind about becoming a doctor (I’m not saying you will, but it’s exceedingly common for freshmen pre-meds to change their minds) you’re at a school you love, rather than some place you don’t like as much but went to because you thought it was going to help you with your now non-existent goal of becoming a physician…</p>
