Thank you for everyone’s input and answers! I fell in love with VT when I came to visit, but of course that was in June and as the months go by I’ve thought more about it and haven’t been so sure on going if I’m accepted. A lot of people, whoever they may be have talked to me about it, and the questions I asked are probably the biggest ones that have made me unsure about coming down to Tech, but then again I do have time. I know I want a big school, and I loved the atmosphere and sense of community within the school, I just was unsure if going to a big school would allow me to excel academically. I’m far from a genius, so getting into medical school for me will be a lot of hard work, and I’m not so sure if I need to sacrifice the qualities of a large school that I love, for the attention you can get at a smaller school.

Of course I haven’t even gotten accepted or rejected yet, and will not find out until the spring, but I’d like to have a general idea or narrow my choices down to 2 schools by the time April comes around so the whole month isn’t too crazy.

Right now I’m applying to (in order of preference) Virginia Tech, University of Connecticut, The College of New Jersey, University of Richmond, and Rowan University (a small local state school). There’s just a ton of factors that will be going into this decision and each school has great and different things to offer, so of course I’ll be frequenting this site for any answers to questions that I have, and james2014 and HokieFreshman i’ll definitely take you both up on your offers, I really appreciate it.

Thanks again!
