<p>I have a "full ride" at a state school and reasonable amount given to me at an expensive private school. I want to pursue a track for Pre-med or major in International Relations..... Is it worth going to the private school?</p>
<p>UMB or BU?</p>
<p>You’ll thrive at the school where you feel most comfrotable. which one do you like better? money aside which would you pick. that’s the one you should go with</p>
<p>that said, if the private school aid is not enough don’t put you and your parents in debt trying to pay for it.</p>
<p>Can you afford the private school? If you can’t, forget about it. It’s not worth going into debt.</p>
<p>If you can, then do some research about the programs you’re interested at each of the schools. Look into the curriculum extensively. Also, are there any particular clubs or sports you’re interested in? Have you visited? Where do you feel more comfortable? There are lots of factors you need to consider!</p>
<p>You have to sit down with your parents (or whoever it is who will be paying the difference between the financial aid and the real cost of attendance) and find out just exactly how easy it would be to come up with the difference in cost. You can get a fine education at each of these places. If you are serious about heading to Med School you probably should spend as little as possible for your undergraduate degree. Save the big debt for later on.</p>
