We are getting down to the wire with decisions. Daughter wants to ultimately go to Med school (at least at this point), so accepted to UGA biology OOS. UGA is a great deal for us financially with merit scholarship. Also considering U-Mich (also OOS) and U-Miami. Concerned about ranking and ultimate GPA at U-Mich and what would provide best chance for Med school. Interested in Dawg’s experiences at UGA going to medical school, research opportunities as an undergrad?
I am an Ortho Surgeon. Bio major w/ a bunch of minors. Being a Bio major does not help you get into med school. They want worldly, well-rounded people — music majors, philosophy, etc.
They want whole people. There are too many bio majors, so it stacks the odds against her.
Stance is they’ll teach you everything you need to know in medical school. Point is, she doesn’t need to limit herself.
Needs to crush MCATs and be unique.
Congrats! She has great options.
