Affiliates For Women’s Health
What college should I go to?
I’m a 17 year old junior in high school. I live in Mississippi and would prefer something that isn’t across the country so I can still see my boyfriend.
I currently have a 3.95 GPA, a 31 on the ACT (as of last year), and a 222 on the PSAT. I’m going to take the ACT probably 2 more times and also take the SAT.
I want to study pre-med. I think I want to be either a mental health nurse practitioner or an orthopedic surgeon.
I’d prefer that it isn’t a women’s college or affiliated with a religion. I want to meet all types of people.
So do you know of any colleges that have a great medical program and are a good fit for me?
This was on College Confidential for the topped ranked Med schools in the country (you’ll have to look into the ones on your side of the US)
Oh and ya I wouldn’t let your b/f be the determining factor in where you go to school at. You should go to whatever school is best for you. Don’t settle for less when you could have had more.
