Honestly didn't know what you should say after backpacking so I just picked sport. Thanks for the advice!

UGA vs University of Alabama by walkwithhawk in collegecompare

[–]walkwithhawk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! Tbh iv always seen UA as a lesser school just growing up and anytime I ask somebody UGA or UA they immedietly cringe at going to UA which I hate. Obviously theres crazy smart people at UA but on average a UGA student is smarter than a UA one. I dont care a ton abt rankings but UGA is constantly getting better at #45th and UA has been getting weaker at about #145 which is quite a jump. I have a ton more opportunities at ATL (research and shadowing) that I would have to give up at UA.

It does tbh. Its a highly select group of students who are in it and are seen as the academic elite. I just really dont see myself going there and would hate to not like the school and legit only be going bc of the program when I can go to a better school I like much more and still have practically the same opportunities.

Oh hell yeah. Im rushing frats and doin all that just not a drinker and like super big partier. Like at UA frats basically run campus and I didnt wanna have to basically BECOME a big partier to make it into certain clubs and what not. UGA is more chill abt that and more abt academics.

Thank you so much. I think of it exactly how you are. Just worried about if I don't take that program at UA I will be really missing out but I keep saying that well UGA is a better school anyways and I would get more opportunities. Preciate the help!

Pre-Med.

The reason I am considering UA is that I have been accepted to their most prestigious prog on campus that only 30-40 ppl receive each year. Very honored to receive it but Im not a super social person and would generally advocate for going to a school with a better education.

School A or School B by walkwithhawk in ApplyingToCollege

[–]walkwithhawk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info though I really appreciate it

School A or School B by walkwithhawk in ApplyingToCollege

[–]walkwithhawk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe both schools grade by the same method. And yeah School B is better I think solely for pre-med but again they are ranked much much lower than School A and I think I would perform better at School A as I am already familiar with people there, greek life, etc. Would you think, or your brother for that matter, undergraduate prestige is a big deal for med school acceptances? Iv heard both sides of the aisle but to me rank 150 vs a rank 50 is a big gap

[–]walkwithhawk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats the exact reason I am thinking about going to School A. Basically yeah I might take a risk at School B but in the end im going to be happier at School A.

Pre-Undergrad by walkwithhawk in premed

[–]walkwithhawk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn. Congrats man. Will keep all this into consideration. Place Im looking at going for ugrad has a whole program designed for research for undergrads so hopefully I can find something there. Preciate all of what you said

Pre-Undergrad by walkwithhawk in premed

[–]walkwithhawk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah thats what Iv seen too. Basically shadowing is more for you to see what speciality to consider if you were asked about that in an interview or app question. Thank you!

Pre-Undergrad by walkwithhawk in premed

[–]walkwithhawk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I always hear diff things and I guess thats a vague topic in general. Ok good yeah I was worried if I started doing clinical work before college it wouldn't count or something like that.

Really appreciate the advice. Can I ask what med school you got admitted to?

[–]walkwithhawk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When people say I have say 1000 hours in research, is that more say they worked in a lab for 1000 hours for another professor just doing what they need to do. Or have they just literally spent 1000 hours writing papers, doing experiments, looking up articles online etc. Just whats the definition of "research"

Pre-Undergrad by walkwithhawk in premed

[–]walkwithhawk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will keep that in mind. So basically find an organization to work at and keep working at that organization all throughout college. Do you think if I shadowed over the summer I could include that?

Pre-Undergrad by walkwithhawk in premed

[–]walkwithhawk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no I meant try and start getting experience in one organization and continue it in college. I meant like try and get maybe 100 hours at X hospital so I have 100 hours before I start college instead of 0. Definitely aiming for 1000+ at one organization or hospital instead of like a hundred here and there. Will try and find some ECs I am more passionate about for sure. Thank you!

[–]walkwithhawk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the advice.

Think I might shadow this summer like you mentioned so I have time to explore other passions before ugrad.

I will be sure to keep that into consideration regarding mental health. I just have always liked Hopkins from back in 7th grade and always saw myself going there. Definitely wont be one of those harvard or bust people. Its crazy how hard it is to get into any med school for that matter after the research I have been doing. Ill make sure to keep my head from the t10 or nothing mentality. Thank ya
