I'm confused >_< on what to do..!?!

Applying to College
1

So I want to be a doctor, but I don’t know which way is the best way to go?
My parents aren’t really rich either…middle class, so I’d have to take tons of loans.

Plan 1: Go to UT Austin or Baylor and major in Biology. I believe I’ll probably end up be in the top 10-15 percent of my class. I don’t know how good these schools would prepare me for the MCAT though.
Apply to top med schools. How would my chances look on actually getting in?
If I go this route…I’ll definitely save tons of money…because I’m in state.

Plan 2: Apply to Duke, JHU, Stanford, UNC and other competitive schools, but the four I named are definitely top. Probably end up being top 50 %, but nearly as good as if I went to UT or Baylor. Better prep for the MCAT…maybe?? Apply to top med schools…would I have a better chance of getting in if I went this route?
Plan 2 is somewhat a hypothetical situation…because who knows if I’ll even get into any top undergrad schools, but this is if I did get in…

Which plan should I do?

<p>I have heard that Baylor is a really good med school. Plus, you're in state so I think you should go with Baylor.</p>

<p>Baylor has an awesome med school. State school's the way to go. My friend is going to UPitt for free and then he plans to go to med school.</p>

<p>Baylor University..undergrad ..isn't really closely affiliated to Baylor's Med School..which I find odd. They have an agreement with Rice.</p>

<p>Have you considered a liberal arts college? Southwestern University gets a large percentage of its premeds into medical school and has excellent merit scholarships (take a look at their website - they have a form to calculate how much you can get). </p>

<p>Baylor University and Baylor College of Medicine are two entirely separate entities and have no relationship with each other.</p>
