So my parents want me to decide by the end of this week and I’m f*cked.
Met with a college advisor and basically told me to go to Tech. Tbh not the smartest kids go there and it bruises my ego a bit to go.
But the pros are:
honors college with 3.6 gpa = automatic admission to the med school with no mcat necessary
easier to get better grades than most of the kids
affordable
Cons:
surrounded in a party environment all the time
I DON’T WANT TO GO THERE
for baylor, if i go to the university, will my chances on getting into the college of medicine increase or remain constant?
it has a 4% rate like its lower than other ivy league schools.
also where would you go? plz hmu w pros and cons (mostly why i should go to baylor so i can convince my parents) ty
You can get a great education at either school, it depends on how much work you put into it. Baylor costs more, but with fewer distractions. If you go to Tech, get into the Honor’s college- more serious students. Tech is a bigger school with larger classes, but the first year BU pre med classes are also large.
Baylor U and BCM aren’t officially one and the same or housed on one campus but they are tied very closely with each other and with other colleges and hospitals in Baylor network of institutions around Texas. Baylor-Baylor joint program isn’t the only example. Here is another one.
“The Board of Regents of the University shall elect one-fourth of the Board of Trustees of the Baylor College of Medicine, a Texas nonprofit corporation.”
