UM vs. UMich vs. Uf. vs. Wake Forest

Applying to College
1

<p>So I am very lucky despite the fact that I was not accepted into any of my top choices to be admitted into these four schools! I am planning on going pre-med and I am having a really hard time deciding where I should enroll next year. I was hoping anyone had some advice?</p>

<p>I live in Miami and I got money from UM and my parents have agreed to let me live on campus.
I would have a full ride to UF, being an IB student.
I would have to pay full tuition for either UMich or Wake. </p>

<p>I mention money as my primary factor becaus I really dont think i want to have alot of loans in my undergrad before going to med school. </p>

<p>any thoughts? I really need help!</p>

<p>as others have said time and time again, med school is about GPA and MCATS above all else…</p>

<p>you have really answered your own question: UF with full ride ftw…</p>

<p>If you don’t want any debt how could you even consider not taking a full ride from a good state school?</p>

<p>I know, UF is really high up there but I am having cold feet because I am not sure how easy it is to get research opportunities at Gainsville with such a large student population. I feel like UM would give me more opportunties. Is it worth paying the extra money to go to UM or even go to Michigan?</p>

<p>Also, does anyone know how successful these two schools are into getting students into top-notch med schools like UMich, JHU, Emory?</p>
