@dadof4kids thanks for the thoughtful reply and confidence boost! I have heard that GPA is one of the determining factors for med school, so if I attend Wesleyan hopefully that won’t be an issue. I have a 4.0 but maybe that’s just because my high school grades easily.
Wesleyan does seem to have better connections/prestige, but I don’t know how helpful this will be. Wes is on the east coast and I practically live on the west coast right now. It feels like committing to Wesleyan means committing to life on the east coast (I said FEELS LIKE, not that it necessarily IS), which is a bit unsettling. However, I would love to spend some years on the east coast to see what it’s like. I want to eventually make my way back to the west coast after my undergrad adventures. Of course, like you said, a lot changes in your 20s so I might not feel this way down the road!
