<p>Hi coloDad,</p>
<p>My husband is a CU Med school grad (undergrad CSU- degree in Accounting!). I’m going to suggest that you contact someone in admissions at the CU Med school in Denver. They will be able to tell you where their freshman med school class is coming from, how they view Colorado undergraduate programs, and compare students from those schools with students admitted from the Ivies/highly selective schools. </p>
<p>Some have refered to a Boettcher scholar in last year’s graduating class going through a similar decision process. He was admitted to Yale, went to Bulldog Days, and I believe is a freshman there now. My advice would be to let your child attend admitted student events, if possible. Yes, they put on a good show, but you will get another data point to help make the decision!</p>
<p>Congratulations on the Boettcher. A remarkable achievement. Hard to turn your back on, I’m sure. Too bad you can’t defer it for medical school!</p>
