<p>Okay, so I didn't get into my top school (Brown), but still have really good options to choose from:
Cornell
Northwestern
Johns Hopkins
WashU
Tufts</p>
<p>Now I really have no idea where to go! I want to be a doctor, so obviously JHU and WUSTL would be really good for that. I got accepted into Cornell's College of Human Ecology, so their Human Development major also seems really interesting. But Northwestern is in such a good location, I really don't know what to choose...
I've listed these schools in order of preference, and have planned to visit all but Tufts later in the month. My parents are really pushing for Ivy League, but I heard Cornell's coursework is really grueling. Hopefully, I'll know more about them later, but does anyone have any of their own opinions/experiences at these schools? Anything about academics, student life, dining, weather, etc.? Thanks!</p>
<p>Human Development is a GREAT major, you should come to Cornell.</p>
<p>Sorry I don’t have any experiences to share, but I will tell you this.
If you want to be a doctor, JHU is the way to go, no doubt. Once you visit you can determine whether or no you like it there. If you do then it should be an easy decision. A close second would be Cornell. Since this is just your undergraduate education, it doesn’t necessarily have to be at a school that specializes in your career choice. Cornell, an ivy league, offers a great education overall and you should’t have a problem going to a reputable med school coming from Cornell. That’s how I would see it. Hope this helps a little.</p>
<p>Also keep in mind that typically about 50% of people who are pre-med coming out of high school are no longer pre-med by the time they would be applying to med schools so even if you feel like you’re sure med school is the way for you, keep in mind a school that offers enough variety to keep your interest if you change your mind, a school that will open your eyes to other opportunities.</p>
