apart from financial stuff,
considering
1.academics
2. pre-med advising
3. EC opportunities
4. school atmosphere
which school do you think is better?
University of Illinois - urbana champaign
University of Washington - Seattle
Thanks
Since the two are large State flags, to answer your 4 questions they are all yes.
UIUC has the cold, UW has the rain, whichever you prefer.
However, if you are resident of one of those states, you should take that State U, it is not worth the money to go OOS UG for med school. Each state school has large biased IS preferential for their state med school. UWs preferential is on a regional basis.
UIUC because you’re instate…
You’d never get into UW’s med school so why go there???

Hello, I know both UCLA and Emory are reach schools for me, but I was wondering whether I even have some chance of getting in.

L ofrec: Both teachers liked me. Assuming it was good. But UCLA doesn’t accept them so…
Gender: female

I applied UCLA for biophysics

@mom2collegekids haha yeah if thay was the case I don’t think I would have been thinking too hard! but Due to some issues, uw and uiuc are similar in college tuition for me. actually uw is a very tiny bit cheaper. That’s why I said “apart from financial stuff”
Can you clarify? How is UW cheaper if it’s OOS??
Are you an int’l student?
