Hi everyone, I’m new to College Confidential and was wondering if anyone had any input on my schools?
My options are (in order of current preference) Amherst College (not UMass), Wash U St. Louis, Emory, Notre Dame, Case Western, Wake Forest, and Bucknell (I was asked to apply for the Presidential Fellowship so Bucknell might move up a couple spots if I get it). I do want to go to grad school (probably an MD, MBA, or both), so I am leaning towards Amherst because I’ve heard that small class sizes means more attention and better recommendations.
Also, to throw another caveat into this, I got into these schools as a high school junior, so there is an option to go back to high school for a year (and try for better schools because I was waitlisted and rejected from a lot of them), or even take a gap year. Of these options, I am leaning more towards a gap year because the only class that I haven’t taken at my high school is my last year of English. I did get my high school equivalency, though.
Any input is greatly appreciated!
Amherst for sure. congrats on the great acceptances
Amherst. If you don’t absolutely hate a LAC (like me) you should go there. It’s great
