Which university should someone who wants to study Biology and then attend medical school choose?
I am a high school senior living in Virginia, and I aspire to become a doctor. I have received my college admissions results, and I have been accepted to the following schools: George Mason University James Madison University Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) University of Washington I have been accepted into the Biology program and plan to continue to medical school afterward. My long-term goal is to become a cardiac surgeon. I am currently undecided about which university to choose, and I would love to hear from those who have studied or are currently studying at these institutions. Based on my research, having a university-affiliated hospital can be a significant advantage for internships and work opportunities. However, I have also come across opinions that suggest it may not be as crucial. Additionally, some sources indicate that if a university has its own medical school, it might offer a small number of reserved spots for its pre-med students (provided they meet the necessary academic requirements). Considering this, James Madison, VCU, and the University of Washington have their own medical schools, whereas George Mason does not. In terms of cost, George Mason, James Madison, and VCU have similar tuition rates, and since they are all in Virginia, I would be closer to my family. However, attending the University of Washington would require me to relocate and pay higher tuition. I understand that choosing a university is a critical decision for both my career and networking opportunities. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate any insights or experiences from students who have attended these schools. Thank you in advance for your help!
