Which college should I choose?!

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello, I am a senior who has just been accepted to a few colleges...
-University of Southern California (USC)
-Boston College (BC)
-University of Virginia (UVA)
-University of Minnesota- Twin Cities (U of M)
-Lehigh University
-Grinnell College
-University of Wisconsin- Madison
-University of Michigan- Ann Arbor</p>

<p>I have also been waitlisted at my top choice Johns Hopkins University.
By May 1, I must commit to a college. I am a first-generation student so I am not sure what to expect from these colleges. If you go to any of these schools please just give me some recommendations/suggestions. I want to go to medical school and become a doctor, so I am looking for good pre-medicine programs. In addition, I noticed smaller schools like the high school I go to right now have better teacher to student relationships. I heard USC is a large school but have smaller classes. Please help me with the colleges. So far, I am leaning towards USC, BC, U of M, and UVA. I am looking rigorously on **************.com, but it is not the same as getting real reviews about everything from one person
Thank you!</p>

<p>-Atmosphere?
-Size of Campus? Easy to from classes to classes to dorms to cafeteria to etc...?
-Teacher and Student relations?
-Grade deflations that make it difficult to get good grades?
-How academically challenging?
-Medicine?
-Words to describe student body?
-Compare the colleges?</p>

<p>The schools are all very comparable, and I got accepted to a very similar list of schools (BC,USC,UT,Tufts)
I personally am going with USC because of awesome financial aid, the opportunity to go to school in such a vibrant city, and the International Relations/Global Business major. It seems like the best of both worlds to me: prestige, parties, and quality academics…</p>

<p>Medical school is very expensive. If all things are equal (you like them all the same) go with the one that gave you the most money.</p>

5

<p>Go to university of michigan. It is the best combination of college town, academics and school spirit/sports on that list.</p>
