twin 1 wants a career in FBI, heard from FBI insider that Penn State and FBI have strong relationship, similar to CIA and Brown. Twin 2 wants to be a pediatrician, is leaning to in-state Auburn for pre-med, but wants to go to same college as her sister. Any thoughts out there on which school would look better on employer and grad school apps?
http://harbert.auburn.edu/blogs/auburn-finance/FBIRecruiting.php indicates that the FBI does recruit at Auburn.
In any case, the “same school” desire could result in one or both being at suboptimal schools for their goals.
The pre-med should consider staying in-state for easier access to medical school interviews and lower costs through in-state tuition. Also, some other schools in Alabama has large automatic merit scholarships for those with high enough stats (ASU, UAB, UAH, UA(T), Troy, (private) Tuskegee).
appreciate the tips, will pass along to daughters.
