Declining: Marquette (I am only waitlisted, though), Temple (declining interview), UoP (declining interview)
Deciding: Minnesota (In-state)(currently go for undergrad), Penn (no scholarship...(yet?))
Any advice? My heart says Penn, but my brain says Minn.
Why Penn:
A change. I am currently at Minnesota for undergrad. Part of me wants to see a different area of the country for a few years.
I would feel more driven at Penn
LOVE the people, the campus, and the historic city of Philadelphia
Undecided about specializing
I'm young and not in debt from undergrad
Would LOVE to do NHSC or IHS to help pay for it (I plan to work in those kinds of settings anyway), BUT getting those scholarships isn't guaranteed (and can prevent you from specializing immediately)
Why Minnesota:
It's like this: It is probably at least $25k *per year* less expensive to go to Minnesota, with no real difference in earning potential or chance to specialize.
