ASU Barrett vs College of Wooster vs UMass Amherst vs Creighton University

Hi, I completely forgot to mention it, I was fully planning on it, my apologies.

It was super last minute, but I committed to ASU Barrett as a Neuroscience major. I almost went with UMass Amherst, but ASU it is

Thank you all for your help!

I think you’re going to have a fantastic experience at Barrett and I don’t think you will ever regret not paying twice as much! Good luck and congratulations!!

Thank you all so much. I really did appreciate all of the advice from everyone here. I’m already getting some second thoughts, but it’s a little late for those.

I’m hoping those thoughts will subside once August rolls around and I’m properly at ASU

It’s never easy to have to say no to a great opportunity but unfortunately you had to. It’s natural. But you can only choose one. I’m sure your gut is right. Embrace it. Love it. And it will all work out.

@Corinthian

[ASU]Barrett is a great affordable option for you. We’re local so we know many, many Barrett students and they all seem to be thriving. Both my kids got into Barrett but, like you, felt it was too close to home so I understand that feeling as well. As you’ve already figured out, Wooster ranks #14 on the list of undergraduate research opportunities, which is excellent.

It really comes down to whether your parents are willing to pay the extra cost for Wooster and wouldn’t consider it a hardship. I would not recommend going into significant debt to go to Wooster though, especially if you plan on med school, which is very expensive. I think @MYOS1634 last bullet point is referring to the fact that in May some schools will announce they’re still taking applications because they miscalculated yield.

Yes, I also think so

It sure would be great to get an Update from the OP. How did it work out? Are they happy with their choice?
