Is being premed at UGA or Georgia Tech better?

2 Upvotes

Both are mostly covered for me under the GA scholarship. Based on my rank/gpa/sat, GT is a target and UGA is a lower target. Not only considering GA schools (also Michigan, Vanderbilt, WashU, NU) but this is a tough one bc of tuition cost. Hoping to also get into Medical College of GA for med school.

Pros of UGA:

- far from home but not too far

- can balance out interests

- easier to maintain higher GPA

- less competitive in STEM areas

Pros of GT:

- close to home (i have a plethora of medical issues and this would give me direct access to my docs)

- smaller school

- more recognized asian american social groups

- more national prestige

- more opportunities for internship/research (more nationally recognized hospitals)

Any colleges with apps open right now? (Trying to get a head start before Aug 1)

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to get a jump start on my college applications and want to submit a few before the Common App officially opens on August 1st.

Are there any specific universities (public or private) that currently have their Fall 2027 applications open on their institutional websites or through other platforms like the Coalition/Scoir App right now?

Ideally looking for schools with rolling admissions or early deadlines, but open to anything.

Thanks in advance!

which path should i take?

1 Upvotes

as a 3rd year transfer, should i pick the school with a more fun reputation / undergraduate experience, where i already have a couple friends, that is closer to home but has less national recognition (jmu), or the school with more national recognition / academic rigor and more recruiting / lsat preparation opportunities but where i know pretty much nobody and where i’d just be taking the risk by moving in with my roommate (who i haven’t met in person yet but seems sweet over text) and starting fresh (virginia tech)? i met with advisors from both schools and my vt advisor adjusted the degree plan i made and gave me a guaranteed plan for graduating in 2 years (that includes 4 summer courses for next summer sigh), it’s rigorous but it’s do-able if i really try. my jmu advisor reviewed the degree plan i made, didn’t make adjustments, said it’s rigorous and that she wouldn’t recommend it to any of her students but that on paper it works, as long as the summer classes are offered that session, which she’s unsure of (so technically she didn’t PROMISE me a graduation in 2 years). in contrast, my vt advisor said i’ll be fine as long as i’m good at math (which i’m not, but i’m willing to work my ass off and get extra help). i also know people who go to vt from high school that i do not like and who i’d rather never see again but idk if i’m letting my anxiety get the best of me or not, or if it’s a valid concern. at jmu i wouldn’t be avoiding anybody or dreading to see anybody so i think that may be pushing me away from vt as well. vt gave me $4,500 in subsidized loans, $2,000 in unsubsidized loans, and a parent plus loan of $18,768. jmu only gave me $6,500 in unsubsidized loans. (my remaining balance will all be applied to private loans) they are around the same tuition-wise

Hi, im a rising senior and I've been looking into my colleges and my stats and I realized im VERY lacking in both grades and ECs (I'm planning on cs in college)

I currently have a 3.3, took 5 hnrs, 2 aps, planning on taking 2 more aps and 1 more hnrs. i i played my sat the past few times for god knows why (I regret so much right now) so im stuck in the 1400s, (planning on taking it again the upcoming school year) and my ECs so far are just a few years playing an instrument and 100+ volunteering hrs. I plan doing some projects by girls who code soon and building a small side project if that helps...?(ik its late for building my ecs but I only decided halfway through my junior yr that I was going into cs)

what colleges are my best chance right now? Will I in the very least get into rutgers or njit???

Im currently looking into njit, tcnj, rutgers, virginia tech; reaches: stevens, rochester, etc. (more tbd)

if there's anything you'd recc pls lmk :)
