<p>Be grateful that your dad has a lot saved for retirement…that means he won’t become a financial burden to YOU later on.</p>
<p>There’s NO REASON to spend that much on UNC when you have UGa or GT as options.</p>
<p>Getting into an acclaimed med school–if any med school–is harder coming from UGA than from a top tier college.</p>
<p>BS</p>
<p>oh and ALL US MD schools are excellent…every single one of them.</p>
<p>If you have the stats from UGa or GT, you can get into med school.</p>
<p>My son went to Bama and only completed 6 US MD med school apps (bad boy!). But he was accepted to 3 and got merit scholarships to all 3. He’s attending his top choice.</p>
<p>If you want to go OOS, then go to Bama. It would give you free tuition if you apply before Dec 15 with your stats.</p>
<p>As for being a bio major…no one gives a crap about rankings. With every college in the country having a bio dept, rankings are irrelevant…especially for premed majors. (and were those ranking for grad school or undergrad?)</p>
<p>BTW…your dad’s money is his.</p>
<p>oh…and guess what? There are kids at UNC that have stats much lower than yours as well. They’re not all top students. Some will be pothead alcoholics there too.</p>
