So it’s coming down to the nitty gritty, many of my friends know exactly where they are going…but I’m still on the fence. I’m leaning towards West Chester, but I have just received another scholarship from Cabrini of $8,000 for practically no reason. (I think they desperately want me
)
Cabrini already costs $<0 (I’m in the negative right now) including AP credit along the way. With $8000, I will be able to live at Cabrini for about $3,000-$3,500/yr. This changes the game, $3,000 is do able for our family. If I decide to stay at home, it’ll cost $-5,000/yr
I’m taking a second look at Cabrini, b/c perhaps given its lower stats of accepted/enrolled students, getting a competitive GPA for med school will be easier. With easier classes and less competition this might be possible. I’d also be in the Honors College/Dorm here as well.
That being said, I’m well aware that research/med opportunities are pretty limited, and that the MCAT prep there will be subpar.
Thoughts?!
