if it makes you feel better, take out the unsubsidized Stafford loans you are eligible for in your name and split the difference with your parents. A strong showing in biology at Vanderbilt can lead to good next outcomes plus you will also enjoy a very memorable, full four years of a broad and valuable liberal arts education in a great college town. Vandy really has many pockets of small and intimate in a research institution.

to be fair, I am ignorant about the caliber of life science education at UCSD. You will get smaller classes, access to full professors, fantastic equipment and access to many things related to a strong medical school on grounds at Vandy. The trick is to be successful at Vandy among your equals. Everyone is ready to do well in your Vandy class and they are all well prepared and highly motivated. Vanderbilt’s reputation will be strong at grad schools for this very reason…entire class of scholars who are self starters and know how to run their own shows. If your parents can afford Vanderbilt, I really think you should be showing them the stats on the class of 2015 and perhaps showing them some of the outcomes from the recent commencement at insidevandy.com.
