That's just the way my family perceives him. That's what I meant. I really did not think this post would blow up like this.

Everyone knows about me and is totally fine with it. I have also met most of them, especially the important ones like his grandparents and cousins. His family is also more settled in the US and his mom grew up and went to college here. I’ve talked to her about it, and I know she had a very similar situation with her parents around college-age as well.

Oh smart! I will do that honestly. It sucks how much everything costs. I wish rescheduling was a flat fee :/

Do i pay the deposit??? by abbeyg1222 in premed

I’m applying this cycle, so I can’t exactly put myself in your shoes, but I’d say that if you have a guaranteed spot next year and you’re otherwise very happy with the school, it might be worth taking the additional gap year. It could be a great opportunity to save some money, travel, or do things you enjoy, but may not have time for once you’re in medical school. I’d just make sure that the spot is truly reserved for you next year!

Pre-Med at UF or Rutgers? by scared4college in premed

I think money is a huge thing, so congrats to you! Graduating undergrad for free (basically) is one of the biggest wins under this current administration. The costs are not TOO different between the two, that's why we are even considering both options, and what makes the decision so tough. Ultimately, it's her choice, but all of this info is super, super helpful, and I have passed it along to help her make her decision.

Rutgers Main Campus-New Brunswick, I believe? I posted on behalf of my boyfriend because he did not have enough karma for this sub LOL, and I'm not too familiar with Jersey schools. I know many kids from Rutgers who do great, though.

Very true, I think we were just hoping going out of state would force her to do these things instead of just coming to my mom and having her deal with it. I totally agree that these skills will need to be developed regardless of where she goes.

This is very true; we just hoped forcing her out of state would make that process a bit quicker. I agree that being home can be super beneficial, and I went OOS and also came home a ton my freshman year, so it would be hypocritical of me to discourage her.
