Dean Winchester tapped the table with his fingers. Castiel was late again. What the hell was that angel up to this time? And why hadn't he called if he was going to get held up?

URM lying - should I report
To preface, this guy is like a brother to me. He was born in Lebanon, but is claiming on his app that he is half Mexican. He has a last name that is defff classic middle eastern, but his first name is a little more ambiguous so I don’t think people would really know.
Should I report this? Do med schools do their own investigations and would find out anyway so I don’t have to get involved? I’ve heard med schools do investigations that span into the third year to catch lies on applications...

PNWU vs. WesternU
A previous thread on this topic only had one response. Hoping to foster a bit more discussion.
I'm lucky enough to be holding an acceptance at Pacific Northwest University and Western University in Lebanon. I've interviewed at the University of Washington and am waiting on a response from them, but I have an eerie feeling that I won't hear back from UW before a deposit is due at either school to hold my spot (Dec. 15th). My thoughts on each school so far:
WesternU:

PNWU vs. Western(Lebanon) vs. UND [MD]
Choosing between these three schools. Tried my best to list and codify some things.
My SO and I currently live in Portland and my parents/family live in eastern Montana. My SO is also pursuing a graduate degree in the area and will not be able to move with me, therefore choosing PNWU or Western gives me the ability to drive to them. I have moved four times in four years and am growing tired of packing Uhauls/resettling into places. I hold nothing against DO's (hence why I am posting this)...
