Applying to College
1

<p>Hi Everyone, So, I need some thoughts for my college decision. Things to know about me:
I am a white, jewish, female from the northeast.
I want to go to graduate school but don't know whether this will be in Medicine, Law, or Business, so please give thoughts on all three.
My family can pay for college, but money definitely helps.
SAT: 2310, GPA: 3.79 UW, NMF. All of my acceptances are OOS.
(This thread is all barring an acceptance off of my 2 major wait lists).</p>

<p>Acceptances:
UCLA
UVA
UCB (Spring Admit)
George Washington University-($15K)
UMaryland (Honors, $12K)
Northeastern (Honors, $16K)
UMiami (Honors, $24K)
UCI (Regents/Honors, $2.5K)
UAlabama (Full Ride)</p>

<p>What would you do if you were me!?!</p>

<p>First off, run your numbers here: [FinAid</a> | Calculators | Award Letter Comparison Tool](<a href=“Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid”>Award Letter Requirements - Finaid) You need to be comparing your actual out-of-pocket costs, rather than the scholarship numbers.</p>

<p>Then talk with your parents about what, exactly they and you would do with the savings that you might have depending on your choice of college. FWIW, Med, Law and MBA programs usually don’t have any scholarship money available whatsoever. Ask your parents if they will help you pay for grad school if you take the cheap route for your BA/BS.</p>

<p>There isn’t a bad one in this bunch. It really is perfectly OK for you to choose based on the weather, the food, how cute the boys/girls are, distance to the beach, or whatever other random criteria that come to your mind.</p>

<p>Oh, and you are probably going to be asked to re-post this in the Search & Selection Forum, so don’t be surprised if that happens.</p>

<p>Wishing you all the best!!!</p>
