SurfingTheUniverse's wisdom

You gotta jump in to swim!

When choosing which schools to apply to, I focused on location (mainly the northeast) and maximizing scholarship opportunities/minimizing debt burden. I relied on 509 reports to see which schools are the most generous with scholarships and from there, applied to mostly to schools where I am above both medians (exceptions: Utah, Northeastern, and PSU). As a result, I’ve been offered 5 full rides (Albany, Drexel, Duquesne, Hoftsra, & Maine) and one 90% ride (PSU).

I decided on Duquesne due to the location, clinical opportunities, and overall cost of attendance. Go Dukes!
