Hello,
I'm a high school senior getting close to making my decision for college. I really wish to pursue a career as a doctor by attending Medical College of Georgia. I'm salutatorian and star student of my class, and I recently was accepted into Ga Tech and UGA. I've done a fair amount of research on which one to select, but I can't seem to decide which one is my best option. If I attend Georgia Tech, then I could major in Biomedical Engineering confirming myself as an BMED engineer just in case I don't receive admission to medical school. This method will allow me to have a back up plan as BMED is my second career choice. Also, Georgia Tech's website states that 80% of Pre-Med students receive admission into medical school. However, from my research, I've found that many students state that getting a high GPA is very difficult at Tech but students tend to do much better on their MCAT. If I attend UGA, I would major in Biology. And, I have found from my research that UGA is more lenient on their grading scale than Tech. My first choice is Medical College of Georgia, but I wouldn't mind applying elsewhere if I don't get accepted there. Which college provides me the safer route to medical college? Thank you very much for your time and advice.
