So I have managed to narrow down the list of schools I got accepted to to 3 schools: ucla, uva, and unc chapel hill. I am having an extremely hard time picking one. UNC will cost 44k, UCLA will cost 59k, and UVA will cost 52k. I am in the Echols scholar program at UVA, and I have family in CA that could cut down travel costs to UCLA. I am from MA and want to take a pre-med track. Any advice?
Wow, congrats on the awesome decision you have to make.
Some things to consider:
8k difference between UNC and UVA means cutting down 32k over four years, how does that sound to you?
You can’t go wrong with any three for premed. However, considering it’s a huge investment over a period of 10-15 years, that 32k will make a big difference.
UNC requires 80%+ of its student body to be from NC, so it will definitely be more of a southern atmosphere seeing as you’re from MA.
You’ll have an easier time registering for courses at UVA, but the same can’t be said for UCLA.
Other than what I’ve listed above, I’m not too familiar with these three schools, so hopefully someone else can help you out.
