William & Mary vs Emory vs Emory-Oxford vs George Mason vs UNC Chapel Hill

So money is clearly an option.

So stack rank them.

First GMU - you can find challenge anywhere - but if you’re gun shy.

Then you have W&M - but it’s much more - but much less than the others? Can you afford without significant loans? I think the sociology major with healthcare concentration sounded more up your alley than kinesiology…but it’s a great name…

All the other schools are far more expensive.

From their website - does this sound like you or not really?

Health, Medicine, and Well-Being Concentration

Why is it that African-Americans have experienced higher death rates from COVID-19? How are health and illness defined across time and place? And how do health care systems work in the U.S. and around the world? The Health, Medicine, and Well-Being concentration focuses on the connections between health, illness, health care, and society, illuminating the cultural and structural factors that influence the practice of medicine, as well as the social causes of illness and mortality. Students who elect this major concentration can take courses about: the social construction of illness, the social organization of medicine around the world, social responses to illness, social foundations of health behaviors, and the link between social stratification and health disparities. The concentration is ideal training for students interested in public health, government data analysis, social work, health policy, and hospital administration. It provides a necessary background about the interplay between health and society, especially for students who are planning careers as physicians, nurses, or other health care providers.
