I'm in a huge dilemma. I'm pre-med looking to major in Psychology (I've always been interested in the mind), and looking for the right school to transfer. I have c.GPA of 3.7, and science GPA of 3.9. I'll also have my A.A. by the end of the Fall.
I'm about 90% sure I'm going to get accepted into University of Florida, but I'm having major concerns. I'd have to move out and get an apartment, which would put some financial strain on my parent who is paying for my education. But on the plus side, I think graduating from the top university in the state would provide some opportunities when applying to in-state med-schools. I have the option of going to Florida Atlantic University, which is not even close to the same level as UF but would mean I could commute and not have to get an apartment. They also have a Psychobiology B.S. degree which closely mirrors the medical school requirements...
I'm really at a loss...UF is my dream school, but if prestige doesn't matter, should I just stay down here to save money? Any advice for this struggling pre-med?
