Back to the OP…I have a very good opinion of Rhodes College. Am friends with three grads all of whom have graduate degrees- one is a physician. There is a long term poster on this board whose daughter chose a merit scholarship to Rhodes over admission to Yale, and she ended up at Yale Med School. Rhodes has the advantage of access to St Jude’s hospital as you probably do. Peter Taylor wrote one of my favorite collection of short stores…The Old Forest…about life connected to Rhodes under its earlier name as a college. I think you should base your decision on A. Where you can get admitted as a transfer, that is if transferring is important. B. Where you can finance your education and C. Where you personally feel you will get the best MCAT preparation. You sound like you are doing your best to use every opportunity you have in Memphis. Whatever you do, stay the course of excelling and maxing out your classroom opportunities. I do not think you should eliminate Rhodes based on the limitations of the social scene as these issues are present on most college campuses and people tend to grow out of “entitlement” behaviors. Stay your own course. Do graduate school test preparations. People get into med school all the time without attending top tier colleges if they have strong references, test scores and grades.
