Hi so I'm new to this forum but I really would love some insight about being a premed (biomajor) at these universities.
I've been accepted to all four universities and I need some more info on premed life to help me make my decision.
Cornell: Biology and Society Major; Waiting on Financial Aid offer. ($65K/yr total)
UT Austin: In State; Health Science Honors Program, Biology Major ($26K/yr)
Emory: Applied late (no merit-based scholarship), Biology Major ($62K/yr total)
Northeastern: Chemistry Major; $11K/yr Scholarship, Internship/Co Op Opportunities at places like Harvard Med ($45 K)
Money wise UT Austin seems to be the best option, but I'm unsure because Emory is a smaller university and is in Atlanta which may have better opportunities for premeds? Also Cornell has prestige, is almost the same cost as Emory but I've heard is known for grade deflation and more difficult classes.
I'm looking for a place that has good advising for premeds, opportunities to succeed, and a higher likeliness to get a high enough GPA to get into medical school.
Any Insight would be really helpful!!
