Hi, I’m debating between UW, UIUC and UIC. I’m not a CS major so they’re all pretty comparable. For all three universities I put my major down as chemistry I might end up changing it but the goal is to do pre-med. Any input would be helpful!
Costs? Are you instate for any? UW madison or UW seattle?
Oh sorry, UW Seattle and I live in Washington. The cost for UW Seattle is ~$27,000 and same with UIC. The cost for UIUC is upwards of $30,000
Why those colleges? I would stay instate. What would be the point of paying UIUC OOS costs which are going to be much more than UW. You don’t get instate rates at both for some reason do you? Because you are quoting UIUC wrong, instate is closer to 30k, OOS is 49K! Mostly you want to go where you can get the best grades if you are going to be premed, and where you will have good support for medical applications and advising. If you are paying a lot of money you might like a private school. I don’t know why you’d go to a big oos public really an pay more. Do semester abroad instead. Or you could apply to a more interesting location like UW Madison, lol.
Why would you go out to Illinois when you had the UW in your own backyard?
