I’ve narrowed down my college search to the University of Delaware and JMU, but that’s as far as I’ve gotten. I really want to choose JMU, but due to the fact that I’m out-of-state there, UD is sounding like the smarter option financially. The most important decision factor, aside from the cost of attendance, is the strength of the school in my department of study. I’ve been accepted to both schools as a biology major and I really want to be on the pre-dental track (I’ve always dreamed of becoming a dentist). What school is better in regards to what I want to do?
And to add onto this, when will JMU be releasing financial aid information? The amount of aid I receive, or do not receive, will most likely be a huge determining factor in where I attend.
