I think you have a valid concern-- schooling is as much about where you feel comfortable as anything else. But as an individual who has lived in the Midwest (Iowa) for most of her life I can say that while we lack diversity and most people are white here we do respect and appreciate it and I don't know anybody that would look down on someone for being non-natively born. Iowa's big cities (Des Moines, Iowa city, Cedar Rapids) are far more inclusive and accepting than people give us credit for! However ultimately it's up to where you think you'll feel the most comfortable and "at home."
yea im really afraid people are taking it in the wrong way, im not talking about work ethic and anything else at all just strictly worried about fitting in the student body or not. its really hard to describe this feeling in words but thank you guys for commenting, i believe ill be the one to pick the school that i am most comfortable with
From what my professor once said, you can fit in the Midwest as long as you know how to drink beer and like sports. lol
Honestly though, I do think regardless of intent you basically just lumped all white medical school students together and implied a negative connotation regarding work ethic or values. You may want to... idk... not do that?
