WAMC between UGA and LSU
Which is more competitive in state?
My current in state school is LSU, and I have the opportunity to move to Georgia with some friends. But I don’t want to move if I don’t have a shot at UGA.
For some background, I applied last cycle to both and got rejected from both. I met with LSU admissions counselor and she said my application was good and to keep doing what I’m doing, I just need to be a bit more competitive. I’ve reached out to UGA as well but no reply so far.
Cumulative GPA: 3.22...

MCG (Athens) vs Emory
Super excited to have options but not quite sure what to pick. My current interests are pretty varied- Ophthalmology, Cardiology, ID, and family med. no financial aid yet but I won’t have to worry about COL at either school.
Emory:
Pros:
- P/F all 4 years
- 1.5 year preclinical
- strong research opportunities if I do decide to do something competitive + built in time with discovery phase
- great national reputation- wouldn’t mind leaving Georgia at some point
- closer to family and SO
-...

"ENT Doctor" accused of faking residency documents for licensure in 3 states
Maryland Board of Medicine complaint

UMass Vs Cincinnati vs MCG
Hello! As the cycle is coming to an end this year I've narrowed my choices down to three schools and would love to hear some opinions about which may be the best choice.
I am a lifelong Georgia resident with my parents living in the Atlanta area. I'm currently unsure of my specialty interests but I have ruled out FM/EM/Peds.
