My only advice is that you can get a good education anywhere if you really push yourself - in the end, it doesn't matter if you went to Penn or Penn State. That being said, talk to recent alums and visit places to make sure there's a good chance the school will fit you well.

Push my self-- i've been pushing myself pretty hard. i have a 4.83 weighted GPA. im 5th out of 515. on the other hand, i pride myself in not being too big of a nerd. i have a life.

Financial Aid can really lower that amount. I suggest Stanford because it is right next to UCSF one of the best medical schools in the nation.

 

[Seraphim6]

well, without finantial aid, i will be going to a community college. i expect to get some aid, but probably not enough to go to stanford, princeton, yale harvard, etc.
did you go to stanford? was it nice?

Pre-med?
Save money and go to an instate state university. I would chose a school that has a higher percentage of the sex you are attracted too. Believe me it makes a big difference.

With your good grades you should get plenty of aid to lower the cost. Also Standford is right next to UCSF so if you do go to medical school UCSF would be a great choice because it would be cheap and its one of the best in the nation.

Don't go to any University of Wisconsin school. Bandwidth is capped at 1gb (both ways)/day. The ONLY ports not blocked completely are 80 and 22. That is all. You can't do jack sh*t.

UCSF or the University of California San Francisco. They are the only med school in the nation to have a high ranking in both medical research and primary care. Also if you live in California for more than 3 years then you are are a resident.

Only if you want to watch the Chiefs practice or want to become a chef / restaunt manager.

They have the best cafeteria of all UW schools, though.

 

[DigDug]

Go Vassar.

 

[VTboy]

When I say high ranking I mean the top 5. The are the only Med school that is in the top 5 for medical degrees in research or primary care.

 

[Seraphim6]

Med school for right now is a little down the road. i was thinking more of undergrad schools. still think somewhere in cali for that?

 

[VTboy]

yes go to any school in cali. california is the best state to live in. any one who says otherwise is just jelous.

University of Wisconsin-Madison is a great school for medical, and MN residents qualify for resident tuition in Wisconsin.

Yeah, there's a lot of Minnesota students here.

I've never had any problems with the internet and I'm at UW-Madison living in the dorms.
I've had much more than 1gb transfered in a day, that I can assure you of .

of the choices you listed, i would definitely take Berkeley as the most robust school in terms of offering the greatest selection of top-notch programs.
