All my D’s options aren’t in yet, but she’s working on all the possibilities ahead of time. The “worst” case is that her remaining 4 colleges are all “no’s”, and she’s left with Rowan vs Stockton.
Both are the same cost to us (very cheap, close to free), but Rowan seems to be much better from the logical point of view (in my opinion) - The honors college gives you great benefits (early registration for example), very good pre-med advising (prob since they have 2 med schools), all classes taught by faculty (no TA’s). She’s also been given a lot of individual attention already (meeting dept heads, tours of labs and things not on the normal tours, invited to a new major they just created in Molecular and Cellular biology (it will be limited/small classes, and all high academic students))… but at the moment she does’t “feel” it there (the nebulous “fit” you hear about).
She loves the Stockton campus and just “feels it” there, but I don’t think they come close on the other stuff. I have no idea how to compare, for example, the rigor of the same major at each. Knowing that similar # of kids apply to and get into med school from both would be a good thing to know, as would knowing if one was way above the other in that same stat… but I get the data massaging - it’s what they told anyone who asked during tours “what % of your kids get into med school”… that they couldn’t really give an accurate/meaningful answer.
I’m sure she’ll love wherever she chooses, just gathering as much info as possible so she can make informed decisions. If she gets accepted into any of the remaining 4, that’s gonna throw in wrench in everything, lol.
Thanks!
