<p>Hey everybody,</p>

<p>I currently intend on majoring in engineering in college, and possibly moving onto medical school or business school after. I was accepted into Cooper and Penngineering, but I'm having difficulty choosing. What college would give me the most after-school opportunities?</p>

<p>Money is a factor; I'm currently appealing for more aid from Penn, hopefully making Penn only 10k more a year than Cooper, but as of now it's still 20k more. I don't think I want to be a doctor, but I haven't completely gotten rid of the thought. Business is looking more appealing. Cooper is much better for a non-bioengineering degree and would mean I wouldn't have to take out any loans, but Penn probably has better pre-professional help and bioengineering and probably gives more wiggle room if engineering is a bust.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>There are a bunch of extracurriculars at Cooper that mostly engineering students attend. there are culture and art festivals, dorm activities that transport you around the city, and a little bit of sports. It’s so small though, and you’ll be working so much anyway, that there isn’t a very huge spectrum of things to join…</p>

<p>To be honest, the type of GPA you will get at Cooper will not help you get into med school…</p>
