<p>It depends on a lot things really, your probably around 17-18 so your idea of what you want to do with you life–doctor, which is great–can change a dozen times before you graduate. I know you think that you are dead set, everyone does, I’ve changed what I think I want to do about a half dozen times since I’ve been in school and I’m still not 100% sure although I have a good idea. </p>
<p>The combined BS/MD sounds very enticing but the thing is what happens in three years when you decide that you aren’t cut out for the life of a physician? You’re going to regret not pursuing an education elsewhere, most likely. The full scholarship also sounds great but again, if you’re into the rigorous liberal arts/life of the mind atmosphere that exists at Uchicago then it’s certainly no substitute. </p>
<p>At Uchicago however, although you may take on a hefty amount of debt, you can still pursue becoming a physician if that is what you decide to do, but if you change your mind your still at one of the best schools and academic environments in the world. </p>
<p>More doors open for you if you go to Uchi; even though some of the other doors might seem more “safe” or easy, I think it’s your best choice(assuming you can afford it without putting strain on your family)</p>
<p>Edit: this is of course my opinion, I’m not trying to put my values on anyone but an outside opinion can be healthy in many cases. Others may tell you to take the safe road with the bs/md, which may actually be better for you, depending on what kind of person you are. In the end you need to seriously evaluate what you want out of your education and make the decision on your own. Obviously if you’re smart enough to get into all of these schools you’re smart enough to make the right decision!</p>
<p>Good luck whatever you decide to do!</p>
