I Just got the news that I got a full ride to Jeff next year. Excited, yes. But I would be even more excited to get off Cornell's waitlist.

Free ride to a great medical school and you're worried about moving off a waitlist.

Ahh...medicine...so glad I'm here.

Would you pass up the full ride at Jefferson for Cornell?

Of course that is all contingent on my being accepted.

But I am gonna take a closer look at jefferson, especially with their international medicine opportunities, which is the biggest reason why I am so excited about Cornell.

Thanks for all the congrats. I would like people's advice on this though--on deciding between the opportunity at Jeff and Cornell. I went by Jeff yesterday and realize that they too have a wealth of international opportunities. In addition, the fact that I could do MPH at hopkins makes things a bit more attractive at Jeff. However, I have been screaming with excitement over Cornell since my interview in early Feb. People, give me your opinion.

Congrats abram!
Jeff is a really good school, I personally woundn't worry about Cornell too much. Like you said, just wait so see if Cornell accepts you and what financial package they offer. May the prize go to the highest bidder! although, it pretty tough to out-do a full ride!
