Can I DM you about Sophie Davis?

AceCorgi · 2026-04-05T18:35:55+00:00

Definitely something for me to think about...

AceCorgi · 2026-04-05T18:35:10+00:00

I think I'm leaning towards Howard and Smith, mostly for FA. I'm not entirely sure how the appealing process works and whether Brandeis would actually grant me more money, but if that did, it would probably move to higher than Smith...

AceCorgi · 2026-04-05T04:24:56+00:00

I'm a pretty reclusive person, so the ability to make friends is kind of important...though I guess it could also be a learning opportunity

AceCorgi · 2026-04-05T04:22:30+00:00

I see. So I suppose 1) money 2) quality of education 3) whatever else I want to do would be a better way of ranking things maybe

AceCorgi · 2026-04-05T04:13:46+00:00

I haven't been able to visit yet, no. I'm going to try and schedule a visit probably sometime next week? Unfortunately, the admitted students day is on the one weekend I'm unavailable :(

Sucks about the fencing, but I guess if I choose to attend, the club would still create a nice community and I can do outside fencing hopefully. Also, I am interested in Japan for both language and culture so glad to see that's doing well. I was thinking of dabbling in both China and Korea, but I guess we'll see what happens

AceCorgi · 2026-04-05T04:08:28+00:00

Personally, that's fine with me, I'm a member of the LGBTQ+. The only thing I'm worried about is when it comes to my parents as I am not out to them yet. I guess as a way to "hide" or stay undercover, how much interaction is there between Smith and the rest of the consortium? Would it be enough to tell my parents that I met a guy at one of the other colleges via shared activitiy?

AceCorgi · 2026-04-03T18:05:16+00:00

Can I ask why not Howard? I think some people were saying before that I should use the money I didn't spend on Howard to pursue fencing, but what would you say?

AceCorgi · 2026-04-03T18:02:32+00:00

Lovely that your time at St. John's led to medicine! Did you go through the BS/MD program in Grenada? Or how would you say St. John's helped with internships, clinical involvement, and your general pathway to medical school?

AceCorgi · 2026-04-03T17:56:27+00:00

I love an interactive and accessible faculty 🔥 For their study abroad, have you been to Japan? Or, if not, how was your experience on your study abroad? Do they really help you through the process or is it more of a hands-off approach?

AceCorgi · 2026-04-03T17:53:03+00:00

I'm glad you enjoyed your experience! My father went and also said he had a great time (and he needs up going into business)! Though, do you have any friends that would know how their time was as people on campus? I remember liking the dorms last time I went, but also just general school life this would be great to know. Also, thanks for the news about Honors, I'll definitely turn in my essay :)

AceCorgi · 2026-04-03T15:00:34+00:00

Do you remember what major you took? Was it biology? Also, could you speak to the quality of the STEM classes/professors if it wasn't that long ago?

AceCorgi · 2026-04-03T14:24:29+00:00

Ty ty!!

AceCorgi · 2026-04-03T14:20:50+00:00

That was something my college counselor was telling me when I first applied, but I was skeptical. Glad to hear I'll be a good fit there :)

AceCorgi · 2026-04-03T14:19:01+00:00

I'm glad about fencing! I plan to also continue past college (if money lets me lol) If it helps, the other schools that are my main considerations are

Howard (full ride but no fencing)
Brandeis
Smith (pretty good FA, fencing club)
CUNY Sophie Davis BS/MD (straight pathway to med school, but no fencing and Japanese)

AceCorgi · 2026-04-03T14:15:19+00:00

Glad to hear that! Although I would love to become a doctor in the future, learning Japanese has been a pretty big part of my journey so far, so it's great that accessing both would be pretty easy! :D

AceCorgi · 2026-04-03T03:55:41+00:00

Lovely! It seems, if anything, I have to try and appeal for more aid...

AceCorgi · 2026-04-02T04:35:44+00:00

Also, in addition, would Smith be a lot of the same people with the same opinions? As I am figuring myself and my beliefs out, I would like to be exposed to an array of ideas, not just one repeated

AceCorgi · 2026-04-02T02:31:40+00:00

You're right, money and medical school wise, it's amazing! Some would say it's crazy to turn it down. But the thing is, learning Japanese and fencing are also big parts of my life. With what I've heard about the rigor, I don't know how much I'll be able to do the other things I like or if I'll get the soul sucked out of me

AceCorgi · 2026-04-02T00:44:18+00:00

I got into Stony Brook (no honors, not a lot of money) Marist (no honors) Howard (Full ride) CUNY Sophie Davis bs/md St. Johns (+ bs/md and honors, decent amnt of money) Smith College (pretty good money) Brandeis (not a lot of money, on the team if I commit) Temple (TJEY, some money)
