I applied to about 16 schools: Cal State Fullerton, Longbeach, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, UCI, UCSB, UCLA, UCB, Stanford, Northwestern, Emory, Bryant, Fordham, John Hopkins, University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, University of Washington. So far I’ve been accepted to Univerity of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, San Bernardino, and cal state LA. I prefer a college with a good a psychology and pre-med program, as well as many opportunities for internships/research, as well as to have the traditional college vibe. Can’t decide on which colleges to favor more. (I plan on double majoring in Psychology and Biology)
hat state do you live in?
Pitt Johnstown is marginally better than cal state LA but I wouldn’t go OOS for any of these two.
I’d say none of the three you listed has a ‘traditional college vibe’ .
It may be worth it to apply to a few residential colleges that still accept applications and have good support for premeds, such as et Michael’s in Vermont and Muhlenberg in Pennsylvania.
Why didn’t you apply to the Pittsburgh campus? I’d say that it’s at least on par with UCI, UCSB, and JHU. If you want the traditional college vibe and internship/research opportunities the Pittsburgh campus is by far the better option.
I live in Southern California and still waiting for admission decision. I just want to weigh out what school will be a better option.
I applied to the main campus but only got accepted to my second option being Johnstown. @shortnuke
Wait until all your decisions are in before trying to decide. I would a assume you researched all the schools before applying so I would have think you would have a good idea of which schools you would be leaning towards attending. You have a huge range of schools on your list and all should give you a good education so if you are interested in attending Medical school. Affordability should be a top consideration.
I have but I am considering them all equally at the moment.
For reference, I’m new to this so I may have posted on the wrong topic. (I’m not necessarily only looking at Pittsburgh only) I have research each school before applying but I wanted to hear others opinion of the schools.
