HELP Rutgers premed VS UNC Chapel Hill premed

College Search & Selection

I AM CONFLICTED. I just committed to unc and found roommates and put my housing deposit down. But now I am getting scared. I want to study pre-med and right now I put that I was a bio major. I might switch that to something different but, I am worried about if UNC will actually be better than Rutgers. Both are about the same cost.

What would be better: premed at Rutgers or Chapel Hill?

At Rutgers i was accepted into the Honors College so i get those benefits and housing, but Chapel Hill I was not.
I am a NJ Resident too and not many OOS people get into UNC. Any advice?? Did i make the right choice. I just really want to be prepared well for my MCAT, and applications to Med school and get into a great med school.

Relax. Either choice will get you where you want to go. As long as they’re the same cost, you can’t go wrong. You already committed to UNC for a reason, something attracted you, so own it and don’t look back.

UNC-CH is rated one of the best schools to attend for pre-med. If you merged all the lists it would probably be ranked 2nd right behind Harvard.

What is it that scares you? Are you afraid that UNC will not provide a good education for premed? Are you nervous about not fitting in?

You are hesitating about your decision, which is normal, but I am not totally sure why…
