Where should I go?

Applying to College
1

<p>Ok. Ive been admitted to U. Texas, Texas A&M, UC Berkeley and Boston University.</p>

<p>I m a tx resident so in terms of money, ut and a&m look good.</p>

<p>berkeley and bu are going to be in the region of 40 to 50k.</p>

<p>so my question is that if im simply going for pre-med, does it really matter where i go. </p>

<p>at first, i was leaning towards berkeley as it is a well respected and good school but the thought of spending 160-180k for 4 years is a bit too high considering the fact that ill hopefully be going to med school. bu is the same story.</p>

<p>now with ut and a&m, its all gonna be under 60k i think.</p>

<p>btw, i didnt apply for financial aid as my family's income didnt meet the criteria. and my parents are already putting my bro through law school. i just dont want to be an unneccesary burden just to have a name like berkeley or bu next to my name.</p>

<p>any help?</p>

<p>Eliminate a&m and bu. your choice should be between texas and berkeley. have you visited berkeley? if it's a better fit, and you can afford it, go for it.</p>

<p>why eliminate a&m? just wondering.. i know its not considered to be a top school, but would it hurt me in the long run?</p>

<p>i think its gonna be down to ut or a&m. </p>

<p>which is better for pre-med and where i can do some research? personally, i think a&m has a more "home" atmosphere and all.</p>

<p>bottom line, if im gona go to med school, does it matter where i go to undergrad, say if one has good mcat scores and a good backgroud?</p>
