<p>That sounded severe, sorry. Don’t get me wrong, I am not completely against public university. It’s just the horror stories that I have been hearing about competition for classes and housing at the public’s here in California have been steadily driving me away from the idea. Not to mention the education cuts thrown down by the state lowering quality and driving up prices. From what I’ve researched private college is the way to go. They seem expensive on the surface, but financial aid is apparently so abundant that a lot of the time attendance ends up costing less, in total, than that of a public institution. Not to mention smaller class sizes, ect. Feel free to correct me if i’m wrong though.</p>
<p>The idea of not getting into professional school is definitely something I have considered, which is why I was looking for schools that had solid academics all around. If I end up doing a non-science major, which I probably will as job prospects seem slim in the sciences now-a-days, I want my med school prereq classes to be taken in a strong science department.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply.</p>
