Should i go to vcu or uva

For that reason, I would recommend not basing your choice on premed. Do visit, spend some time there, attend a class or two. Thank you all so much for the advice! However, I know that being in the VCU honors college would give major perks like the priority registration. Full disclosure, my uncle was a department head in UVA, I frequent Charlottesville when he was alive.

Also, VT as far as I know, as I work with many international students , has a larger international student community, and is generally a more welcoming place than UVa.

VCU and UVa are located in self-sufficent places. Blacksburg, on the other hand, wouldn't exist without Tech! VCU is larger than both in terms of graduate students, though around the same size as VT for undergrad.

I hope this is helpful! Remember, I do currently attend VT and I love it here! I know I am much happier here than I would have been at UVa. I didn't apply to VCU as I didn't want to go to school in a city. I am definitely biased-- however, I had an internship this past summer in Charlottesville and spent three months there. While it was during the summer, I did experience 'the college life' at UVa.

I am so glad I picked VT! Herringk Thanks! This was definitely helpful. FailedScientist No problem! Good luck! You need to be a member in order to leave a comment. Sign up for a new account in our community.

I think they mostly offer it to super high caliber students in an effort to lure the best and brightest. I have noticed it is usually said to incur as little debt as possible for undergraduate education.

Are your parents going to cosign loans for UVA? Good luck. It sound like you have great choices. And scholarships may relieve some of the debt from UVA but I will not know if I received any until after May 1, but even then it would be more expensive.
