<p>Union

<p>Where am I most likely to find success?</p>
<p>Congratulations on both offering.
When you say Union, I will assume that you are referring to the one in NY, not the one in KY or NE!.
That being said, You will find success in both.
As you shared BU is a large public school which will translate to lager class size and all that comes with that.
Union on the other hand will give you a great undergraduate education as well with close Prof and student interaction, however the cost is a bit more as it usually is since it is a private school. Since you are going to grad school, not sure if that will all be loans or your parents can actually afford that. If loans, then it might not be a good idea - you would want to save the loans for you MED SCHOOL, since it seems unavoidable at that stage.
If money is not an issue, and your parents are willing to pay the cost then Union will be a great choice.
But remember that Success can be found anywhere, you just have to work hard and stay focus. Go with the school that is your best FIT & BALANCE, then success will follow.</p>
<p>just wondering coco, what would you do if you were in my shoes?</p>
<p>and thanks for the pep talk!!!</p>
