Hello!
I am looking for a school that I can succeed in and that will help get me to med school. Hope College is small and very good at what they do since they are all undergraduate based. They are big into research as well which is what med schools like. Georgia Tech is a well known school that has a great program! By going there I could receive more opportunities than i would at Hope and the name seems to be more well known.
As for college environment I honestly do not know. I like the idea of Atlanta in the big city and all of the opportunities it brings and activities it does. But i like Hope because class sizes are smaller which allows for more one-on-one interaction which I learn a bit better.
The anticipated costs for each are irrelevant and the exact same price… around $40,000.
Other than pre-med I plan to major in business as it is a good plan B if something were to happen and I do not get into med school but It also can pair well with it. I could move on to get my MBA or run my own practice, etc.
Growing faith, honestly, is not a top priority. I want to choose a school that will best give me opportunities and prepare me well for med-school. I would rather go to a smaller name school and be in the top of my class with GPA than a well-known school with a lower GPA. In the end, graduate and med schools love a high GPA.
