my mom's friend's son is considering becoming a DO and he went to washu i think
the competition is insane
indigo dragon
the competition is insane
this is why premeds should always pick the highest gpa school
not like uc berkeley
shell atlas
yea
shell atlas
idk what he's doing now tho
indigo dragon
like if you pick Cornell you're going to destroy your gpa
indigo dragon
also prestige doesn't mean shit
there are exceptions but generally yeah
that's why I tell everyone to go to a state school unless you got financial aid
shell atlas
yes
indigo dragon
there's literally no reason to pick a private and go into debt for it
shell atlas
yea
real pivot
choose the one with the most gpa inflation and that you can afford
It turns out I got off the Emory waitlist today, what are your thoughts on Emory
real pivot
also prestige doesn't mean shit
I would think a school like Harvard would definitely offer some prestige right, wouldn't going to a T20 private school mean something

It turns out I got off the Emory waitlist today, what are your thoughts on Emory
is this transfer or undergrad? bc im on the emory waitlist too
also if ur doing premed, then you want to select the cheaper school
20k per year more is a LOT

I'm going to WashU and I also have to pay the entire tuition 😭
Although it's a private uni, I wish they lowered it for instaters
indigo dragon
I'm going to WashU and I also have to pay the entire tuition 😭
that would be quite a lot
hopefully your parents are in a professional career or in tech
otherwise it would be very expensive

Oh man
Congrats on WashU, the tuition does suck though
Right now I'm between Emory and UNC and I'm just so lost on what to choose
Emory vs. UNC (OOS) for Pre-med
indigo dragon
still is expensive 😂
at least a loan would not be needed lol
indigo dragon
Right now I'm between Emory and UNC and I'm just so lost on what to choose
which one has a higher average gpa? and how much of a factor is cost?
gray frigate

U right lol
real pivot
which one has a higher average gpa? and how much of a factor is cost?
the grading seems to be similar at both schools
I think academically, Emory and UNC are basically the same
However, Emory has a smaller student population and I'm not sure if that would mean finding research would be easier, because Emory is near the CDC, Grady Hospital, etc
shell atlas
maybe also consider the competitiveness of positions at emory too, bc soo many people are trying to go for premed
