Upcoming Pre-med student in Virginia

Hello!

I’m currently a high school senior from Northern Virginia and my heart is set on the medical field. I applied to a few BS/MD programs and was unfortunately rejected from all except for one upcoming interview. However, I feel that it will be best for me to go the traditional route and attend an instate school with minimal debt. I am currently deciding between VCU, GMU, and UVA. I have been accepted to VCU Honors, GMU Honors, and am expecting an acceptance from UVA hopefully.

If I attend VCU or GMU, I feel fairly confident that I will receive a decent amount of financial aid and that I can maintain a high GPA and apply to their sophomore-year early assurance medical programs. UVA has great pre-med as well and the rigorous academics will prepare me well for med school. I love all three schools and just want to know from fellow CCers what school has the best pre-med pathway.

My stats are 4.47 GPA, 1510 SAT, 11 APs (mostly 5s), and have over 550 hours of medical experience and other volunteering.

Thanks for your help!

Wait until you get those aid packages. Then if they are all truly equivalent, you can worry about which one to attend.
