Great! Thank you so much : ) If I end up going to Madison, I won’t be able to go from home (I live about 1.5 hours away), however, since I have a large amount of scholarship, my parents are allowing me to stay in my own apartment which is located near Witte and Sellery residence halls (but far enough away because I don’t want to get caught up in the partying/drinking culture at UW). I am very confident of the rigor of my current high school. I was able to maintain all A’s, including in my AP classes that include AP Bio, AP Chem, AP Physics, and AP Calc (I have other AP’s as well, a total of 12). I know many family friends who have gone to UW, graduated, and matriculated into a medical school. What’s a bit funny is that family friends who went to places like Emory, WashU, Rice, etc. all ended up in medical school at Medical College of Wisconsin (unranked as far as I know), but the one family friend who went to Madison is now at UW-Madison medical school (I believe ~20 ranked). I think my counselors are confident in my ability to succeed.
