Stop being such a dumbsh*t. Get back to use when you send your kid to a 4th tier regional university. |
ESU doesn’t support pre-med kids? |
Not the same way any of the more rigorous options would. But yes, OP’s daughter needs to do a LOT of research to understand how ESU supports pre med, how many get in, and compare that to her other choices. |
What about their program is different? |
New poster to this thread. I agree with the post & poster quoted above. If one desires to work for any of MBB, ESU is not the place to go for one's undergraduate degree. It is not even on the rader of any of MBB. |
OP you came to DCUM look for support...and you won't get it.
I guess, let your kid do whatever they want. Hopefully, your kid is #1 in the class, and makes it to Med school or whatever. Make sure all the money you have in the 529 keeps growing and you will have it as an emergency fund to support your kid if needed. |
That’s for OP’s daughter to figure out. It’s a totally logical assumption that a low-tier school will have less ability to place students in highly competitive jobs & grad schools. |
Schools don’t “place” students. Smart kids get in. |
Not smart kids with the incorrect preparation, no connections, and no support from their school, not without a lot of luck and additional effort. And again - why deliberately chose to give yourself that kind of leg down to begin with? Maybe there is some reasonable case but she hasn’t made it. |
Do you actually believe that kids can’t be successful from low prestige schools? |
ESU has pre-med advising. How do you know the preparation would be incorrect? How do you know they don’t support? |
This is DCUM. Of course she does. |
Is that what I said? No, I did not. I said it would be harder - possibly much much harder. OP’s daughter needs to understand that. Maybe she’ll still choose ESU but if I were her parent I would require her to do actual research comparing med school preparation & admissions support between her options. |
Op, you were fine with this school on the list, initially. You don't get a gold star for your worry - worry without seeking alternatives. |
What would you be looking for in a pre-med program? The curriculum is normally standard. How do you define admissions support? |
