Hi all,
I am a senior this year and just got my college results back. I am currently choosing between two schools- University of Maryland (scholars program, also my state school) and Carnegie Mellon. Is it better to go to UMD and possibly get a higher GPA, or go to CMU and get a slightly lower GPA, but graduate from a top tier university? Which is more favorable in terms of medical school admissions? My long-term goal is to become a doctor, and I don’t want to get kicked off the premed track. Does anyone know how Carnegie Mellon is for premed students (is it really tough, are you prepared enough for medical school, are applicants from CMU successful in getting into competitive medical schools)?
Thanks in advance!
