Thank you so much for your detailed response, getting rid of the uncertainty that I had for a while. I’ve realized that my willingness to get away from home has made me oversight the wonderful opportunites available at a college so close to me. The research opportunities seem to be among the best in the country at Pitt, and though drexel is still a great university, the co-op and star programs don’t compare to the potential for valuable and long term research that I could participate in at Pitt and are basically required for admission to medical schools. The only reason I liked drexel’s campus was that it wasn’t Pittsburgh, and though I still like Pitt’s campus( I made it sound much too horrible in my description), I think there will be opportunities for me to travel away in the future, possibily for graduate school.

This takes Drexel farther out of the picture for me, but I want to know if you have an opinion on Case Western or Northeastern as well? I got into those schools as well for pre med, but how would these scholls stack up against Pitt? I visited Case, and it seemed to be a beautiful campus with lots of opportunities with the Cleaveland Clinic and other hospital, but I know little to nothing about Northeastern. Case Western gave me generous aid and a scholarship, which would make the expected cost approxiately the same as that at Pitt. Northeastern seems a bit on the expensive side though. What are your thoughts of these universities? Thanks so much for your insightful input, for this college decision process has been stressful lately.
