Whitman or SCU or UW: Medical School Acceptance Chances

<p>So I was all set on going to UW but now I'm re-considering my choice because I've heard it's pretty hard to get a high GPA at UW and going to Whitman and SCU would be a little easier to get into a good Medical school Later on. I know it depends on how hard I work but I'm not trying to set myself up for failure by choosing the wrong path! Any opinions would help!!!! I was accepted to Vanderbilt too but it's a bit far for me. </p>

<p>I'm planning to be a Molecular Biology major or a Biology.</p>

<p>There is a Health Professions Info Session during the Student’s Admitted Day that you might want to attend; it helped solidify my decision in going to Whitman. Plus, you can also speak to the Health Professions adviser for more information. Hope that helps!</p>

<p>How are you doing right now at Whitman? Are you enjoying it? if you dont mind me asking ahha</p>

<p>I wouldn’t suggest selecting Whitman if your goal is to get easy A’s. It’s a tough school.</p>

<p>i really am enjoying Whitman. </p>

<p>(1) i feel so free here that i am trying things i would have never tried before, like karaoking, swimming, and dancing. i love being able to go to plays, concerts, and performances with people who equally enjoy it.<br>
(2) the people here are amazing and interesting. they are so brilliant that i felt so intimidated and daunted at the beginning of the year. they can be so passionate about things i would never have thought of, such as horses. they are also really friendly, down to earth, and i have met a lot of kindred spirits.<br>
(3) the academic courses are definitely harder than high school, but if you work hard, then you’ll definitely succeed. plus, the college provides an amazing academic support group: such as student advisers to help guide you through registration, read your encounters essay, and help you with calculus and chemistry. if you need a tutor, you can always request one and it is free. the professors have flexible office hours. </p>

<p>i think that a lot of prospective students are hesitant in attending whitman, because it feels so isolated. but i think that’s the beauty of this college. moreover, whitman college has a great retention rate–that has to say something, right?</p>

<p>and no, i don’t mind you asking! continue asking!</p>
