<p>Vandy is a great choice for her. Perfect size and great pre-med program. Vandy wants to expand its diversity numbers. Vandy also meets 100% of need w/o loans - so she’d go there for free.</p>
<p>She does need to get the NCP waiver since dad is not in her life.</p>
<p>Good luck to you! You’ll do great!</p>
<p>Holy Cross and Tufts-both in the Boston area-have great pre-med programs.</p>
<p>Union and Ursinus have good records of preparing students for medical school.</p>
<p>Any options for state universities that would be good, also? I visited University of Iowa, but I thought it’d be a little too big, and I’d like somewhere warmer. Suggestions?!</p>

<p>So for all of those who helped me narrow my choices down on where to apply, here’s an update. I got into all of the schools I applied to with the exception of waitlist at WashU.
I got into U of Rochester, Vandy, and Wake! I’m very excited. Now, I have to decide where to go. Help would be GREATLY appreciated at this time!!</p>
<p>Are you still planning on going on to Med school? If so use the costs to decide. Keep the costs down during undergrad because you’ll pay through the nose later.</p>
<p>Erin’s Dad is right. Keep costs down for med school.</p>
<p>If your parents are paying for undergrad, ask them if they’ll help you with med school, IF you go to a less expensive undergrad school.</p>
<p>If you’ll need to take out loans for any or all of your schools, go to the one that requires the smallest loans.</p>
<p>What is the financial impact for each school?</p>
<p>Actually, I got a full ride to Rochester (Rens scholar)! And, I would only have to pay 2000 at Vanderbilt! (Vanderbilt has a larger airport, so I would spend 2000+ coming home from school each break if I went to Rochester). So, the price isn’t really the issue right now!</p>
