<p>Im having a hard time deciding whether I should early decision to Columbia or not. heres the two sides:</p>
<p>pro: awesome school, top notch education, awesome ppl, higher chance of getting in EDing, if they dont meet ur financial aid, you can not accept--but its a no or a yes.</p>
<p>cons:.. its binding.. meaning if they accept you.. u have to withdraw all applications, heavy courseload-- im doing pre med.. so i need a really good gpa. and it may be harder getting that there over a state university. technically.. they will fullfill your financial aid package through grants and loans.. i guess i prefer more grants that loans. but apparently if u family's income is under a certain amount.. its mostly grants ( id ont know if thats true or not--so if something can clear that up too).</p>
<p>so i definitely need some opinions. </p>
<p>i was wondering also, do medical schools really care which undergraduate school you came from??</p>
<p>thanks .</p>
