I am currently deciding between a solid public school with a full-ride scholarship and University of Pennsylvania with a scholarship that pays for half of the total cost of attendance. Medicine is my eventual goal.
The public college is close to home and allows for a study-abroad trip.
University of Pennsylvania invited me to be a Vagelos Scholar (research stipends).
I am torn between the two. I know either way I'll get an extensive education, however, I am debating whether the cost of Penn is too hefty especially since I know I want to go to med school afterwards. Any legitimate advice or experience (especially from UPenn) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
