My parents and I are completely fine with withdrawing other application after an acceptance to Brown, but realistically, it’s highly unlikely that I’ll get in. I’m almost certain that several students from my school with stronger stats also applied Early Decision. As for BS/MD programs, I’m still unsure whether I’d be willing to pay that much, though the idea of a guaranteed, stress-free path to medical school is definitely appealing. My parents also really value the idea of me avoiding the stress of the MCAT and having an assured acceptance to medical school, even if it comes at a higher cost. Our total household income is around $420K, and with significant assets, we likely wouldn’t qualify for any financial aid. Personally, I’d be perfectly happy attending UTD or Texas A&M, but my parents are very focused on prestige and security, which has heavily influenced my current college list.
