imo free education at Buffalo sounds really good especially when your going into pre med and need to save money for that

stiff cloud
#

if cwru or u of rochester dont give me good aid then i'll likely end up going there

#

the only reason why i dont want to go there is bc i dont wanna stay at home

vernal hatch
#

Fair

vernal hatch
stiff cloud
#

I just want to do my own thing

vernal hatch
#

Gotcha

stiff cloud
#

My parents are really controlling

#

They dont let me walk home from school bc they think im gonna get kidnapped or sm

stiff cloud
#

The place where i walk is all rich people and my area is all old people

The wildest thing ive seen while walking home is a deer

Did you do net calcs for your reaches to see what it would look like?

stiff cloud
#

Yeah

Cwru and u of r

#

They were like 3k

#

Per year

I think

Around that

My top 2 have really good aid

#

I kinda need more targets

#

My only real targets are cwru, urochester and brandeis

#

Not sure if i wanna apply to brandeis tho

and do i spsam reaches or get more targets

#

my ecs are kind of cooked

reef aurora
#

we cant narrow it down for u

but if u want a reach, u do have to spam to some extent

stiff cloud
#

i guess

#

ill probably narrow it down by essay count

reef aurora
#

are there schools uve alrdy applied to

#

that u are likely to get ino

#

that u would be happy with

stiff cloud
#

cwru u of rochester

#

i think i have a fair shot

reef aurora
#

u wouldnt be happy with anything else?

stiff cloud
#

in terms of targets

#

not really

reef aurora
#

i applied RIT as a mega safety (hella expensive tho)

stiff cloud
#

maybe stony

reef aurora
#

and id have been happy there

#

"happy"

stiff cloud
#

RIT pre med is bad from what ive heard

#

on reddit

reef aurora

they gave me money and co op and masters

#

😭

stiff cloud
#

why go to rit when u of rochester is there

reef aurora
#

stiff cloud
#

reef aurora
#

stiff cloud
#

i toured and i loved it

reef aurora
#

didnt realize how good it was until i spoke to an alum

stiff cloud
#

toured uroch^

reef aurora
#

its cuz i applied as BME

reef aurora
#

RITs better for BME

stiff cloud
#
