University of Washington vs. Loma Linda

[Caleb Johnston]

So, I was accepted into the University of Washington, which I was pretty excited about. I also got an interview at Loma Linda University, but that will be on January 9th and UW wants a response by January 13th.

I'm considering calling off the interview at Loma Linda and accepting at UW. I'm not a huge fan of either area, but my family does live in Seattle. Any general thoughts on both schools and whether it's worth interviewing at Loma Linda? If I do interview at Loma Linda, how should I go about requesting an extension on my deadline with UW?

I would go to UW, and if you want to specialize, I believe UW has better matchrates than LLU anyways.

UW also most likely will not extend your deadline, so you'd either need to pay the deposit, and see if LLU accepts you and go from there, or roll the dice and decline your spot and see if LLU accepts you (very bad idea)

Welcome to the forums.

Your UW deposit is insurance should you do your LLU interview and prefer to go there instead. Also check your cost of attendance for both schools.
