Hey I know this is a bit unusual (I don't see many high schoolers on here), but I'm currently a high school junior thinking about college next year.
Emory has always been the school of my dreams, but it is very expensive, and I would definitely need either an academic scholarship or a generous financial aid award to go there, but I think with my stats I stand a chance at early decision. I am going to apply for Emory scholars (full-tuition merit aid scholarship), but it has recently come to my attention that I stand a better chance at a full-tuition scholarship at UGA. I think that with my stats and academic profile, I might also qualify for the UGA Honors program. UGA is a lot more affordable, but hey if I could get some money there too all the better for med school right?
The only worry I have is the reputation of UGA (known for partying, not for academics), whereas the reputation of Emory is far better and is a school I would much rather attend.
If I choose to go to UGA, do you think I could still go to Emory Med or would my chances be greatly decreased?
If I can save my parents some cash for med school I will, but as long as it won't be detrimental to my future!
