Hey everyone!
I would deeply appreciate some advice regarding a tough decision l will have to make by the end of the month. I'm currently a senior in high school. Earlier this month I was blessed to be admitted to a few ivy leagues known for their research opportunities and pre-med program. Recently, however, l been accepted into a "4+4" Program at Rutgers University- New Brunswick. With this, I would attend the Rutgers Honors College for 4 years (can major in anything). The appealing part is that if maintain a specific GPA (3.6) I will have early assured admittance to RWJ Med. To top it off, the MCAT is not needed to enter the med school. I've been battling and weighing out each choice. This is the first year that this program has been offered, so there are no older students I can get insight from. Should go for the more rigorous, opportunity- rich ivies in hopes of going to a better med school, or take the more direct route through Rutgers? Any insight would be appreciated! Thank you!
