<p>I’ve got good stats and ECs, but really fell in love with Baylor on a visit there and am having a hard time of getting motivated to apply to other more prestigious schools. I want to go to medical school, and think baylor can get me there, while giving me a fullride scholarship. However, I would like to here some reasons for why I should try to get into an ivy or other really good school and how this would help me out with my goals of getting a good education and becoming a doctor.</p>
<p>Sure, why not? The only thing you’ve got to lose is your application fee.</p>
<p>Baylor is known for its sciences.</p>
<p>Also, if you are Ivy caliber, you will probably do well at Baylor.</p>
<p>You don’t necessarily have to go to an Ivy School to get into med school.</p>
<p>Many people have to go to their state’s flagship university for financial reasons.</p>
<p>If medical schools know you got a scholarship to Baylor, and you do well at Baylor, you will get into medical school.</p>
<p>I would say to apply to a couple Ivies, so you will have that option on the table, when decision day actually comes.</p>
<p>I have clients whose daughter got into medical school from Florida International University, which is a 3rd or 4th tier school. I know another guy who got into medical school from SUNY Oneonta.</p>
<p>You might contact Baylor and find out more about how their science graduates do.</p>
<p>And of course, hopefully some Baylor people will respond to your CC post. </p>
<p>I can tell you that a friend of mine graduated Duke, passed on Columbia, but seriously considered Baylor.</p>

<p>Perhaps you can tell everyone what you liked about Baylor.</p>
<p>Why bother? You’re found what seems to be the right school for you, and your reasoning is sound.</p>

<p>The campus was really nice. It just seems like such a unique place, how it is relatively small but has big 12 sports and i really would enjoy the christian fellowship. I met a lot of really cool people there, and I think I could get a great education for free and be able to accomplish my goals.</p>
