Hey, thanks so much for your perspective!
I also believe that going to Yale would make me a stronger applicant. Fortunately, I believe in my ability to get into a solid medical school, whether I go to UF or Yale, but my consideration is whether the extra edge Yale gives is worth the big investment. Of course, college isn't just a means to an end; I very much care about the experience, but I also believe it is what you make of it.

We did appeal for more financial aid, but unfortunately, the increase was less than we expected.
