If you're holding an acceptance at a top 10 school and another at a more mid-tier school, will it affect the merit-based aid that either offers you when on May 15 they can see where else you got in?
Likewise, will either of those acceptances affect your waitlist chances at another "top tier" school?
I've been wondering about these questions because I think a factor for me in choosing a medical school is going to be cost. I like the schools I've gotten into a lot.
I'm also wondering if I should turn down the mid-tier acceptance because it might hurt my waitlist chances at other, "better" (I know, I know) schools to be holding multiple acceptances, if I end up in that position. I would hold it otherwise because I'd totally go there for a hefty scholarship.
With all of that premed overthinking said, I am THRILLED to have even one acceptance and pulling, HARD, for everyone else. And I would really appreciate some collective wisdom. Thanks
